Second Wind: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Living Stories

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts trace the experience of living with COPD: the diagnosis and the grief that sometimes accompanies it, the pulmonary rehabilitation programs, the inhalers and medications, the exacerbations and recoveries, and the larger work of adapting life to a changing lung capacity. Writers speak candidly about what they gave up, what they protected, and where they found stability.

Who it's for

For those newly diagnosed with COPD, those at later stages managing greater limitation, and the families and caregivers who want to understand the road — not in medical abstractions, but in human ones.
