Abstract
"For those who have recently undergone ostomy procedures, the transition can present new obstacles. From what to expect, to ostomy- and self-care, dressing and more, navigating life post ostomy may feel overwhelming.
In So Much More than My Ostomy, Ellyn Mantell--"ostomate," advocate, and renowned motivational speaker --provides advice, tips, and encouragement for caring for and embracing your perfectly imperfect body. Ellyn, along with several other ostomates, also shares stories from her journey that led to her ileostomy in March, 2014. The book contains interviews with several who have survived and thrived through the many health and emotional challenges presented to them.

Abstract
"The Comfort Book is a collection of little islands of hope, a gathering of consolations and stories that give us new ways of seeing ourselves and the world. Matt Haig's mix of philosophy, memoir and self-reflection builds on the wisdom of philosophers and survivors through the ages, from Marcus Aurelius to Nellie Bly, from Emily Dickinson to James Baldwin. This is the book to pick up when you need the wisdom of a friend or the comfort of a hug, or just want to celebrate the messy miracle of being alive" -- Provided by publisher
