Quando, mesi dopo i primi sintomi, arriva la diagnosi di sclerosi multipla, Marco ha trent’anni e una carriera da tenore appena avviata. Come gestire i concerti e le audizioni in giro per il mondo senza sapere come ci si sveglierà domani? Marco mantiene segreta la sua nuova, scomoda compagna di viaggio. Almeno fino al 2013, quando, nella prima apparizione di Sintomi di felicità, decide di rivelarla al mondo.

Jean-Baptiste Dethieux est le père d'une enfant porteuse d'un handicap qui la rend à certains moments toute petite et démunie et à d'autres, grande et forte, si forte qu'elle semble embrasser le monde dans son entier, s'en amuser ou s'en réjouir dans une innocence désarmante.

When someone would tap along and rescue me from being sandwiched between these two hardbacks, sorry, did I frighten you? You never heard or seen a talking book. Well, me either. The majority of the time, I am the only one in the room, or shall I say, “on the shelf”? So many humans walk right past me, playing blind games by pretending not to see that the struggle is real. Talk about the lack of accessibility.

I Sverige finns mer än en miljon anhöriga som vårdar eller stöttar en närstående med fysisk eller psykisk ohälsa eller funktionsnedsättning. Även om var och en har sin unika historia är det mycket som förenar oss. Anhörig i ett hav av känslor ger röst åt våra berättelser. Om ovisshet och oro, otillräcklighet och frustration, skuld och skam, sorg och maktlöshet. En situation som kan utveckla oss som människor, men också utmana och slita ut oss. Det handlar om avgrunder och guppande känslohav, men också om stillsamma solgläntor och fascinerande utsiktsplatser.

2020 was a hard year for everyone. In this journal, learn how one woman experienced the pandemic while also having to deal with the effects of having bipolar disorder. From the book: "Truth is best expressed as silence. Words are our creations. They come and go, live and die. They are incapable of expressing what is real. This has been a journal of a false identity assuming itself to be real. From this new vantage point, I see how I am creating this story. Today I start a new chapter. Or maybe it is just a page. Even if I could just cobble together a sentence. Make it meaningful!"

Sarah’s story is one for any parent; it is not just about the highs and lows of having a child with additional needs, but also simply as a mum of three. She talks candidly about coming to terms with the decision to move Oscar to a SEN (Special Educational Needs) school, another big milestone in Oscar’s young life. Whilst Sarah may have found herself on a different path to the one she’d imagined for herself, it has not been a bad one.

This book is not just about Emma's fall from the sky and how she learned to walk without ever regaining feeling in her legs but also about the beliefs and ideas that helped her survive.

In #butGod Jeremy shares the incredible story of Caleb’s recovery, the darkness that nearly overtook their family in the waiting, and the #butGod movement that captured the prayers of Christians around the world.
