Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
WHY ME? These were the first words that Bill Torres spoke after waking up from his stroke. Like many survivors, Bill lived his first days and weeks after stroke in a dark, heavy cloud of depression. Depression creates feelings of hopelessness, guilt, helplessness, and decreased energyall symptoms that stand in the way of a survivors efforts to regain mobility and speech. Yet, rather than dwelling on asking WHY ME? Bills second words were, WHAT NOW? He set his mind to getting better, little by little, every day. As researcher and author, Peter Levine (2013) suggests, stroke survivors must fall in love with the process [and] see the process of recovery as an opportunity for growth.Falling in Love With the Process: Cultivating Resilience in Health Crises tells Bill Torres story of recovery and advocacy. The book is structured along two different timelinesthe timeline of Bills early life and the timeline of his life from stroke onward. Chapters are alternated between Bills stories of growing up in San Diego and chapters that provide accounts of Bills journey of stroke recovery. These two separate storylines come together near the close of the book as we explore Bills approach to advocacy and mentorship as a stroke survivor.Falling in Love With the Process: Cultivating Resilience in Health Crises is divided into three parts: Part One: Picking Up the Pieces; Connecting the Dots explores the aftermath of Bills stroke and discusses the ways in which stigma, depression, and internalized ableism shaped Bills initially difficult emotional response to stroke but also offer accounts of how his communication with key health care providers reinforced Bills drive to work on his own rehabilitation. Part Two: Persisting Through Recovery considers both Bills capacity to structure his own rehabilitation routine and the ways in which his close network of friends supported him throughout his recovery process. Part Three: Communicating as an Advocate explores how Bill transformed his survivor narrative into a tool for advocacy. It explains the strategies Bill used to successfully work with other stroke survivors and also describes the compassion fatigue that can accompany this kind of communicative labor.
