Well-Being in Rare Diseases

Living with a rare disease is not only a medical experience—it is a human one. It reaches into every part of life: the body that struggles, the mind that questions, the family that hopes, and the community that rallies. This book began with that truth and has followed it through the many ways people find comfort, meaning, and strength when medicine alone is not enough.
