Summary of Restoration Work

Illness has changed the lives of Lidewey and Philippine. In this book, they honestly share their experiences with illness and recovery, and give tips for others who (know someone who) are chronically ill. Philippine had a brain hemorrhage at the age of 28, and Lidewey got long covid at the age of 35. Their lives changed suddenly. They found themselves in a world where the sick live, which can often be lonely. Philippine and Lidewey discuss their challenges during their recovery, with the hope that others will feel less alone. How do you regain confidence in your body when you are ill? And how do you discuss what you need with colleagues? This is the book they wish they had had.

Read it and judge for yourself.
