Cover Story: Many people with multiple sclerosis (MS) experience grief related to lost independence and changes in self-identity, factors that raise risk for depression, anxiety, and reduced quality of life. Research has shown that expressive writing reduces emotional distress in other populations, but its effects in MS are unknown. This qualitative study examined a 10-week coach-guided expressive writing program delivered via videoconferencing to 25 adults with MS across 10 US states. Post-program interviews revealed therapeutic themes that indicated that the intervention helped participants process grief and fostered emotional resilience and psychological growth. Further study may lead to widely accessible coach-guided expressive writing programs to support emotional well-being and quality of life in people living with chronic illness. View this paper
