Coping

‘I can’t stand the concept of healing if you don’t also talk about hopelessness, hemorrhaging, the medical-insurance industrial complex, panic, poverty, and boredom. I prefer the term “coping” because it acknowledges the struggle is real.’

– Johanna Hedva, from Minerva the Miscarriage of the Brain (2020)
