Lived experience books

 Lived experience

Books by people who have lived through something extraordinary and want to share their story to help others. We can learn a lot from other peoples experiences.

Sally Magnusson. Where memories go. Living with dementia in the family.

Terry Pratchett. Shaking hands with death. His experiences of living with Parkinsons.

Sheri Fink. Five days at Memorial. Life and death in a storm ravaged hospital. A horrifying but well told account. Not an easy read.

Michael Rosen. Many different kinds of love. A story of life, death and the NHS. A first person account of being hospitalised by COVID from the author and poet Michael Rosen.
