As someone who has been chronically ill from a young age but had it go from mostly functional to mostly incapacitating in the last few years, this was a relateable read... sadly. I feel seen now but if the book had existed a few years back in my darkest times, I would have found it cathartic, oddly comforting and informative (it still is those things) - it could have led to easier 'aha' moments along the grieving process. I wish the author well on her journey and hope that it's an easier ride for her from here on out.
