Are you looking for faith-based help and support when life hurts?

I have spent two decades writing about various types of suffering including blood cancer. Over on my Patheos blog I tend to write from a Christian perspective. I offer therefore a collection of articles from my background as both a medical doctor and a patient. No glib answers here, just practical and philosophical help written primarily for a Christian audience, but you are welcome to benefit whatever your faith background.
