Autor

An active woman, wife, and mother of two young boys, Carole worked part time as FJ attended graduate school. Two years later, undiagnosed pain and weakness dominated her life; she was still a wife and mother, he had graduated, she had everything to live for, but she could never again lead an active life. Carole and FJ are uniquely qualified to cowrite this book, having lived over 40 years with her unstable, progressive, invisible disabilities. Carole writes from her standpoint as the person affected by severe limitations, while FJ writes from his perspective as the spouse and caregiver. FJ is a retired minister and Army Reserve Chaplain. His professional background coupled with the personal experiences of handling his wife's health challenges provide a unique perspective. Carole's speaking experiences include panel discussions and forums with the public and healthcare profession students. Carole created and administers an informative website, Navigating the Storms, for and about invisibly disabled people.
