My Person Is Sick, Digital Edition

Somebody in their house is sick, and everybody keeps talking to the grown-ups. This journal talks to the kid.

This is a digital download. Nothing ships. You get one 120-page PDF instantly. Print it at home or type directly into the fillable fields on a compatible device.

My Person Is Sick is a 60-day private feelings journal for kids ages 10 to 14 whose mom, dad, grandma, or grandpa lives with a chronic illness. Sixty short entries, one honest question at a time. No entry asks for more than the kid has that day. Skipping counts, and the book says so.

Use it your way. Print the whole journal or one part at a time, or type answers directly into the fillable PDF. For best results when typing, use the free Adobe Acrobat Reader. Compatibility varies across browsers and third-party PDF apps.

For school counselors and child life specialists: Print pages for the kids you work with directly. Please do not share or resell the file itself.

WHAT YOU GET

• One 120-page fillable PDF, 6 x 9 inches, instant download

• 60 short undated entries across six parts, from Naming It to What Stays the Same

• A privacy pact in writing, plus a do-not-peek page for the grown-up

• Hard Day pages, question parking lots, and built-to-be-shown pages

• The internet page: three questions to bring to a trusted adult instead of a midnight spiral

• Real fillable text fields on every intended writing line

• A how-to page covering printing, typing, and tablets

The kid's pages never name a diagnosis, so it fits many long illnesses: MS, fibromyalgia, chronic pain, lupus, dementia in a grandparent, cancer in its long seasons, and the ones without tidy names.

One honest note: If the tablet is shared or monitored, print instead. This book promises the kid privacy, and paper may keep that promise best.
