Broken Brains, helping pick up the pieces for sick loved ones
Manage episode 480618298 series 5385
When you find out that someone is sick, sometimes all you can muster up are the words "I'm sorry." Maybe you send some flowers or a meal. It's a meaningful gesture, but is it enough?
Jamila Rizvi and Rosie Waterland have been on the receiving end of these gestures during their own illnesses and believe we need to become more honest and lean into difficult conversations around sickness.
Together, their new book, Broken Brains, confronts how we treat mental health and physical health conditions differently and offers comfort and advice "for anyone who has been sick or loved someone who was".
