Description

Annette Kam was a nurse at Kapi’olani Hospital, and then director of a Fibromyalgia groups for many years. She stepped down after the loss of her Father in Law to assist the family with the aftermath of his passing and the subsequent loss of her Mother in Law as well.

The lessons that she learned from that difficult period led her friends to often remark, “Annette, you really should write a book!”  So, she did! And here it is! Super practical, designed to kokua. As she says, if it helps even one person not go through what she did, it will be worth the time she spent.

Annette speaks at temples, churches, gatherings, at Nohea Gallery today (2-3-2024)  and is happy to speak at your organization if possible.
