An afternoon in the blackberry patch turns into a lesson about facing fears. Mark and his mother Michelle are picking blackberries when Michelle begins to share memories of her childhood and situations that made her feel afraid—but none so daunting as the fear she faces every day with her young-onset Parkinson’s disease.
She recalls a song Mark taught her to help her remember the importance of breathing when she is afraid. They also discuss how exercise helps. Michelle tells her son: The only way to calm a fear is to FACE IT.
This book will help families living with Parkinson’s disease and other chronic illnesses talk together about fears and anxieties and some ideas for making peace with them.
