As someone who is chronically ill and physically disabled — especially with an “invisible illness” — this book felt like it was written to speak to me and my struggles. It put into words so many things I’ve thought, felt, and really needed to hear. The concept of Perceived Body Betrayal really opened my eyes. There were so many lines I highlighted, and the book was constantly making me question my internal ableism and how that affected how I view my body. Genuinely, I think this book will help me change the relationship I have with my body. I also appreciated that this book would be impactful for anybody, because we all have bodies and with that will all at some point experience body grief.

What a vitally important book. This Is Body Grief explores a feeling that so many of us have experienced but may not have had the language for.
