Abstract
Six women with chronic illness engaged in multiple conversations with the investigator to help her understand what it is like to live with chronic illness. Phenomenologic writing and reflection were used to analyze the data. The story is guided by an integrating theme: Living in paradox circumscribes one's loss while enabling one to embrace new discoveries of self in the life world through unfolding awareness.
