Survival: The Covid Years by Ilana Estelle is an honest relatable read.
Ilana was born with a disability she didn’t know she had until the age of 46, when through her medical notes she discovered she had been diagnosed with cerebral palsy at the age of 2.
That discovery turned out to be a unique and life-changing experience that has forced Ilana to stand back and look at her life experiences differently.
On her late diagnosis, Ilana set up her website The CP Diary and uses her experiences to explore her emotional and physical health, with inspiring messages advocating resilience and change.
Ilana likes to spend her days writing and blogging about anything that contributes to her health and well-being. She is an animal advocate and is passionate about environmental issues. When she is not writing, or tending to her blog, Ilana enjoys days out exploring the Yorkshire countryside.
In Survival: The Covid Years, Ilana shares her overwhelming physical and mental struggles within the chaos of the pandemic. She explains how navigating the daily turbulence and ever-changing rules and restrictions impacted her physical, mental, and emotional needs, leaving her feeling out of control and panicked.
Locked down and fearing for her health, and even her life, Ilana turned once again to writing, a process that has helped her cope and reach out beyond life within four walls. Her revealing memoir shows how she learned to cope with stress, anxiety, and on-going self-isolation through Covid, through the healing power of words and with a steely determination to reconnect to the outside world.
Covid was tough on everyone, the lockdowns, the fear, our daily routines being changed and not being able to see family. Ilana’s Survival: The Covid years, unpacks pretty much how we felt during that turbulent and challenging time.
Told from Ilana’s own perspective, documenting the challenges she faced. It’s an honest and relatable read. It also gives the reader many positive things to take away from that time and how we can use the experiences we all had as we move forward and move on with our lives.
