Heart Sisters/Fox Valley Chapter

Connecting sisters, mothers, daughters, friends-Women…one beat at a time…

You’ve had all the procedures and medications necessary to begin healing physically after your heart incident, but how do you recover emotionally? It is normal to have conflicting emotions and feelings of anger, fear, depression and anxiety.  Anger that this has happened to you or at the way friends and family are reacting.  Fear of dying or that life will never be the same. Depression and anxiety because you feel a loss of control over your own life or worry about how your family is coping.

Heart Sisters offer support, comfort and hope and even find the humor in dealing with heart disease. No charges or insurance claims to file.  Just a relaxed atmosphere to exchange thoughts, feelings and information as only women can. We welcome any women who feel the need to share heart-related concerns.

Join us on the first Wednesday of the month at 7 p.m. For location and agenda, please call Jody at 630-499-7078 or visit their website at heartsistersil.org.
