Product Description
A collection of poems to inspire and console those with debilitating illnesses Compiled by a former sufferer of both myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) and multiple sclerosis (MS), this is a compassionate poetic companion through the journey of illness. Sections reflect on the phases people commonly go through when dealing with life-altering diseases, including the initial shock and realization of sickness; coming to terms with an apparently diminished life; learning to be still and to be thankful; finding new courage, resolve, and hope; seeking consolation in the cycles of nature; taking comfort in spiritual contemplation; and finally, facing the prospect of death and accepting it peacefully. This is a sensitive companion for the sick that is perfect for anyone who is suffering the disorienting consequences of illness, whether temporarily, chronically, or terminally.
