Hi there! My name is Jess; I have been blogging for several years now, and some of you may even know me from my writings on my personal blog, Sarcastica. I created The Chronic Corner after thinking about how awesome it would be to have a support group for moms with chronic pain disorders and illnesses. My hope for this website is to collect the stories and experiences of moms with chronic pain disorders so that other moms with chronic pain disorders don’t feel so alone in this big old world of parenting. Personally, I would have loved to find a website that focused on these special difficulties with parenting, so I could better know what to expect myself.
Parenting is no easy task, but partnered with managing chronic pain, things can get harder. Sometimes, every day simple tasks can be a struggle to complete…making you feel inadequate. My hope is to diminish the feelings of inadequacy by allowing moms with chronic pain disorders to hear from other moms who have been there and know what it’s like. Sometimes, all we really need to hear is “I understand, I’ve been there. Don’t give up.”
The Chronic Corner was created to help other moms suffering from chronic pain disorders not feel so guilty for the limitations they face and not so alone in this wonderful world of parenting. There are tons of “mom blogs” out there, but rarely do you see a place where you can get advice and hear stories from other moms with chronic pain disorders!
So welcome to The Chronic Corner, and if you have your own story you’d like to share than please feel free to email me at chronicmom@hotmail.com with your story. All stories will be posted with your name, URL (if you have one) and unedited (save for spelling and grammatical errors) unless you wish to remain anonymous.
Hugs and kisses,
Jess
