“Your Health is Your Choice with Sara Troy and her guest Deb Morgan, on Air
and beyond! March 26th, 2024…




Happy Spring and Easter to all the readers and new visitor friends!

It has been a busy few weeks for me as I recently launched another book that complements my upcoming “The Graceful Agony Series”. This series focuses on living with chronic illness and offers helpful insights and guidance.

The latest addition to this series is called “Breaking the Silence,” which provides valuable tips on dealing with high-impact chronic pain and overcoming feelings of shame and guilt that often accompany it. The book also emphasizes the importance of having open and honest conversations with loved ones about living with chronic pain and illness.




My dear friend Sara Troy invited me to be her guest on her amazing podcast called “Self-Discovery Wisdom.” I decided to share the episode with you. During the interview, we discussed my new book, and Sara had many questions for me. If interested, you can watch and listen to our highly informative show by visiting this link>> https://selfdiscoverywisdom.com/2024/03/25/24-13-deb-morgan-breaking-the-silence/

It was a lot of fun doing the new podcast show, and I always enjoy catching up with Sara. I’m also happy to share that my new release is doing well. Reader Views has given my new book a 5-star editorial review and chosen it for a press release to be distributed on April 2nd, 2024!

Here is a sample of what they will be sharing within the PR…



“Debra Morgan’s “Breaking The Silence” Celebrated for Its Transformative View on Battling Stigma in Chronic Pain“

“This acclaimed book offers a compassionate roadmap to navigate the emotional landscape of chronic pain, empowering readers to break free from guilt and shame.“

CHANDLER, AZ. April 2nd, 2024 — Debra Morgan, celebrated for her Amazon best-seller “Graceful Agony: An Intimate Memoir of Living with Fibro & Chronic Fatigue,” unveils her latest work, “Breaking The Silence: Confronting Guilt and Shame in the Chronic Pain World.” This book serves as a guiding light for individuals facing chronic pain and their circle of support.

As reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2021, an estimated 20.9% of U.S. adults, or about 51.6 million people, have dealt with chronic pain, while approximately 17.1 million people have faced high-impact chronic pain. The reality of chronic pain often brings with it unwanted feelings of shame and guilt, largely fueled by
societal stigma.

“”Breaking The Silence” is an essential and easy-to-use guide that offers a range of techniques and approaches for people who live with chronic pain or any chronic condition that causes pain. The book aims to help readers manage chronic pain more effectively and to let go of the burdens of guilt and shame. It also promotes better communication between those who suffer from chronic pain and their loved ones.


############


Although this is not the final version of my book’s press release, I am excited to share a sample of it as it marks another accomplishment in my writing journey.

I am eager to read reviews from those who have read my book and posted them on Amazon and Goodreads. These reviews are essential feedback for any author, and I look forward to reading them for both of my books.

I hope my books have been helpful for those people with the topics discussed, and I am excited to see how they have impacted my readers.


Wishing all a Blessed and Happy Easter!

~Deb Morgan

Debra Morgan is a celebrated author and advocate who writes about addiction recovery, fibromyalgia, mental health, and high-impact chronic pain. Her latest books include “Graceful Agony,” a bestseller on Amazon, and “Breaking the Silence,” aimed at those with chronic pain. Debra draws on her personal experiences to provide support and hope to her readers. All her books are available on Amazon Kindle and B&N and featured on fine literary sites.

For Deb, it was not about being a survivor but learning to thrive again while easing the path for others facing their fibro challenges. The author was born and raised in Colorado and lived in Arizona until 2012, when she moved to Oregon. Meanwhile, missing her grown children and grandchildren, she moved back to Arizona in 2021. She has been featured as a guest on many podcasts and radio shows, sharing her recovery journey while raising awareness about addiction. She has maintained sobriety since 1993.

With her diagnosis of Fibro in 2005 and other medical conditions, she is committed to her recovery of healing while helping others do the same as a tireless advocate and a woman who has come out the other side of addictions, trauma, and much more as a “Survivor and Warrior.” Today, Deb is focused on writing and sharing her experiences with Fibro and chronic fatigue/pain; as heart-tugging as the downside can be, it is one of pure perseverance.

The author has been happily married to her soulmate and is a mother of two grown, successful children. She enjoys reading, painting, and traveling when not advocating, speaking, or writing. Her “#1 happy place” is spending time with all the grandchildren she adores. Deb and her husband continue to reside in Chandler, Arizona.

5-Star Editorial Book Review by Readers’ Favorite


Reviewed by Delene Vrey for Readers’ Favorite

Breaking The Silence by Deborah Morgan is aptly sub-titled Confronting Guilt and Shame in The Chronic Pain World.

Deb, who has written her memoir about living with chronic pain, identifies that many chronic pain sufferers deal with a large amount of shame and guilt due to childhood experiences and the way society at large and family view and treat those who suffer from chronic pain. She provides thought-through techniques and advice to overcome these feelings and live a successful and fulfilling life.

Being a chronic pain sufferer herself, Deb shows insight and understanding of the difficulties faced by sufferers, be it how to cope with the emotions and feelings that can lead to isolation or how to deal with family members who minimize or negate their condition. The aim of this book is to set chronic pain sufferers free from guilt and shame and cultivate open and honest communication between those affected.

Deborah Morgan has written an easy-to-read book concerning chronic pain and how to break through the silence and stigma that chronic pain sufferers face. She has first-hand experience with the topics she addresses and the tips and advice she provides. The book is written in clear and accessible language, and repetition is helpful, especially as many who suffer from chronic pain also have difficulty concentrating.

I found the chapter about the psychology behind dismissal very helpful as I am a fibromyalgia sufferer and have had much trouble understanding the way that others reacted and still react to my diagnosis. This book can be of use to any sufferer of chronic pain as well as those who want to understand their loved one who is in constant pain.

Breaking The Silence: Confronting Guilt and Shame in The Chronic Pain World does what the title implies. It helps you learn how to love yourself and communicate your feelings to those who need to understand what a pain sufferer endures to become more supportive in a healing way. Highly recommend!

Happy To Announce My New Book Has Been Released and Already Has Been Awarded a 5-star Reader’s Favorite Book Review, a Book Blitz Coming For Bloggers to Host My New Book!

~ Debra Morgan Author, Writer, Advocate ~ Leave a comment


Welcome, everyone, I am happy you are here!

It has been a whirlwind these past few weeks with the release of my new book, “Breaking The Silence: Confronting Guilt and Shame in the Chronic Pain World,” now available from Amazon in Kindle and paperback versions.

Also, I am sharing some news about my new self-help nonfiction book about chronic pain as the main topic while sharing my personal experiences of overcoming guilt and shame after being diagnosed, which is out of our control.

We never know what life will bring; it surely can bring illness at any time and age. My high-impact chronic pain came from my diagnosis of fibromyalgia in 2006, and I felt as if my life had changed in the blink of an eye! In the years to come, I felt guilt and shame, feelings of being a burden to my family, and this is also what I address within my book.

However, I want to share a new 5-star editorial review already awarded for my book by literary influencers of Reader’s Favorite that sums up what readers will learn while reading, especially for those diagnosed with chronic pain from illness or disease disorders.


For immediate release:

Debra Morgan’s new book receives a warm literary welcome.

Readers’ Favorite announces the review of the Non-Fiction – Self Help book “Breaking The Silence” by Debra Morgan, currently available at http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CW1N55NX.

Readers’ Favorite is one of the largest book review and award contest sites on the Internet. They have earned the respect of renowned publishers like Random House, Simon & Schuster, and Harper Collins. They have received the “Best Websites for Authors” and “Honoring Excellence” awards from the Association of Independent Authors. They are also fully accredited by the BBB (A+ rating), which is a rarity among Book Review and Book Award Contest companies.

New Year Cover Reveal. “Breaking the Silence,” A New Book by Author and Advocate Deb Morgan, is Coming Soon!

~ Debra Morgan Author, Writer, Advocate ~ Leave a comment


Now that the holiday season is behind us, I am happy to announce my next book will be ready for release very soon! I thought starting the New Year with everyone with a Cover Reveal would be fun.

So here you go! It will be the next book in my “Graceful Agony” collection of informative books addressing different topics.



It is a topic I am passionate about and very important when we manage a chronic illness like Fibro and chronic pain. Stigma is such a battle for many when diagnosed with chronic illnesses. Having a chronic illness or condition and having the feeling of being different from others can subject us as a person to possible stigmatization by those who do not have the illness or understand it.

Coping with stigma involves learning an array of strategies, including the decision about whether to disclose the condition and suffer further stigma or attempt to conceal the condition or aspects of the condition and pass for normal. 

That is some of what this new book will be about. You shouldn’t be ashamed of a medical illness that was not in your control being diagnosed with a chronic illness. My book will begin the conversation by also addressing guilt. Guilt can be felt by the person diagnosed and by those like family who may not know how or understand how to help those of us with a chronic illness.


So, it is time to get in the game if you haven’t read my first book, Graceful Agony: An Intimate Memoir of Living with Fibro & Chronic Fatigue …

I have the Kindle book on sale for only $0.99 cents and the paperback on sale for $7.99 to celebrate the New Year, and available from Amazon!





Let’s connect and talk about living with chronic pain, fatigue, or chronic illnesses by connecting on social media and by following my website. Grab a copy of ‘Graceful Agony’ be the sale is over!
