Trigger warning: This episode includes discussions of near-death experiences, medical trauma and decisions about quality of life versus prolonging life, which may be a sensitive topic for those triggered by the topic of ending life. If you are having a mental health crisis or are struggling with suicidal thoughts, in the US you may call “988” for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline which is staffed 24 hours a day.
Hay shares raw wisdom from her autoimmune vasculitis journey, from days of living breath to breath in survival mode to learning to live life to its fullest within constraints.
Hay and Cheryl urge fellow chronic illness warriors to resist trying to fit their experience into a tidy narrative and instead ride the waves of uncertainty. While extremely challenging, Hay notes that “deep calls unto deep”, allowing shared humanity and connections based on what unites us all.
