Disrupted Journey: Walking with Your Loved One Through Chronic Pain and Illness

“You are not alone in this journey. Here is someone in solidarity who ‘gets it,’ who offers hard-earned wisdom, and who is willing to be vulnerable so he might help others. May this book strengthen many, and may it equip well-meaning ministers and friends who want to better understand the realities of family life for those with chronic pain.”

“Real. Relatable. Compassionate. Full of hope. If you or someone you love has experienced chronic pain or illness, the pages of this book will not only leave you feeling seen and less alone but also bolster your faith and relationship with very real hope amidst very real struggles.”

“Nate Brooks helps caregivers navigate the complicated world of vicarious suffering, walking through the pain of the present and discovering the future joy that will make it all worthwhile.”

“Nate Brooks knows what it is to love and suffer alongside a spouse with chronic pain. This grippingly honest, faithful book is a compassionate companion for anyone who is walking this difficult path. It is grounded in a faith that acknowledges profound sorrow and clings to resilient hope while offering strength and solace in Jesus.”

“Brooks closes his work with a statement of confidence that in the end, God will make all things right. Both the pain of the one suffering the chronic illness and the pain of the one who cares for them will be swept away in a great tide of healing and joy when Christ returns. That confidence and the hope that comes with it is meant to encourage any carer to press on through every difficulty and every trial. His book is both comforting and encouraging and I gladly recommend it to anyone who knows what it is to have their journey through this life disrupted by chronic pain, long illness, and other such trials.”
