Join us today in welcoming Emily from Mama Sick. Emily shares her battles with several chronic illnesses on her blog, along with a whole lot more.
Here’s a bit about Emily:
I am a chronically ill mom and my blog was started to let other sick moms know that they are not the only ones going through the challenges of being a sick parent. I do not just write about being sick, as I want well moms and others to come to my blog and realize that we are not so different, so about two-thirds of my posts deal with parenting and women’s issues. I also seek to debunk certain stereotypes. I am not the average person you think of collecting food stamps and living in poverty. I am pretty much an open book to my readers and they really appreciate my honesty.
Emily says these are some of her favorite posts:
Accepting her purpose in My 2nd Blogiversary! The Mission Continues
Mama Sick’s Handy Guide for the Healthy Person tells it like it is
A lovely moment with her son in Holding My Son’s Hand.
Leave a quick Roll Call comment here, then head to Emily’s blog for more of Mama Sick.
Living with chronic illness, especially one that isn’t readily “visible” is difficult. Happy SITS Day!
ps – I’m featured on BlogHer Health today!

I also have a chronic disease. The worst part is feeling like you are the only one who struggles with an illness. Can’t wait to read what Emily has to say.

Good Morning! I, too am a mom with a chronic illness. It can get pretty scary sometimes, and the guilt? Wow. Kudos to you for speaking up!

So glad you are sharing with other moms who are going through the same thing. Knowing you’re not alone makes so much difference. I’m a grandma now, but I raised 2 kids while struggling with Crohn’s disease and clinical depression. I’m sure there are easier ways to get through life, but we have to deal with what we’ve got. Stay strong.

Hi Emily, you are one strong lady! I went a little backwards today in my visit, but I am in awe of your capacity to share and provide strength and community for those struggling with the same issues as yourself. But I also love that you are not defined by these issues, you focus on what we all do, see, experience in our lives with kids, spouses and ourselves! Happy SiTs day to you!
