How to Be Sick

A book that helped me adjust to long covid life is How To Be Sick, by Toni Bernhard, who is a Buddhist with ME/CFS. It’s not a “heal yourself with meditation” book, it is a “techniques for handling suffering” book.

I had heard sick and disabled people say everyone who receives a life-changing diagnosis should be provided a doula or guide for the transition, and this book served a little bit of that for me. Passing it on.
