Long Illness

Long Illness by Meghan Jobson and Juliet Morgan is a compassionate, clear-eyed exploration of life when health becomes a long-term journey. Immediately arresting, this title draws readers into the lived reality of prolonged sickness with honest storytelling and practical insights that resonate long after the last page.

Combining lived experience with thoughtful observation, Jobson and Morgan illuminate the emotional, logistical and medical challenges people face during extended illness. Chapters move between intimate moments and wider reflections on care, communication and navigating healthcare systems, offering both empathy and hard-won wisdom. The writing is accessible and lucid, making complex feelings and decisions easier to understand for patients, loved ones and professionals alike.

For anyone confronting chronic illness, supporting a family member, or working in health and social care, this book delivers real value: increased understanding, constructive coping strategies, and renewed confidence to advocate for better care. It’s as useful for quiet personal reading as it is for book groups and training sessions seeking human-centred perspectives.

A vital addition to collections on health, caregiving and patient experience, Long Illness speaks directly to readers across the UK, US, Australia and beyond—wherever people are seeking clearer guidance and compassionate companionship through difficult times.
