The Parkinson's Path: Your Guide to Finding Hope, Happiness, and Meaning on Your Journey With Parkinson's Disease - Paperback

by Lianna Marie (Author)

A compassionate guide to the emotional side of Parkinson's-filled with encouragement, practical tools, and hope.

Parkinson's changes life in more ways than one. Beyond the physical symptoms lies a quieter, often heavier load: the emotions, fears, questions, and constant adjustments that come with living with the disease-or loving someone who does.

In The Parkinson's Path, best-selling author and advocate Lianna Marie offers a clear, supportive roadmap through that emotional landscape. Drawing on thirty years of walking alongside her mom through every stage of Parkinson's, Lianna shares short, relatable chapters that meet readers right where they are: shocked, afraid, frustrated, hopeful, comforted, grateful, and everything in between.

Each chapter ends with Path Pointers-simple, actionable steps to help steady you in the moment and strengthen your emotional resilience over time. These include:

• Scripts to help you find the right words in difficult conversations

• Tiny habits to build steadiness and calm

• Tools to try for emotional and mental well-being

• Recommended reads & listens to deepen support

• "Words to Carry" quotes for daily encouragement

With warmth, honesty, and deep understanding, The Parkinson's Path helps you navigate the hardest moments without sugarcoating them-and notice the good that can still grow along the way.

Whether you're newly diagnosed, years into the journey, or caring for someone you love, this book will give you more clarity, courage, and connection as you continue forward on your path.
