The Perks of Being Terminal (eBook, ePUB)

and other reflections

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Registered nurse and healer, Michael Ortiz Hill, uses humor and his poetic, stream-of-consciousness essay-writing style to explore such topics as his progressive multiple sclerosis, being a father and grandfather, his initiation in Africa, and how healing and peacemaking have been central to his life's work. Drawing upon his lived experience as a person with an incurable and degenerative neuromucular disease, Ortiz Hill asks us to ponder how one faces the impossible with grace and compassion. He has dedicated the book to our "frenemy and comrade Covid-19", and, in doing so, challenges his readers to find the hidden gifts that illness and tragedy have to offer.
