Free Ostomates Journal

Ostomy surgery is often followed by grief and mourning for the loss you have experienced. As well as changes in your bodily function and appearance, you may have lost confidence in yourself and your abilities. But what exactly is confidence and why do we need it?

Confidence is not about what you can or can’t do. It’s what you think and believe you can or can’t do it.

This journal presents an opportunity to help you build confidence in yourself, your abilities, and your future.
