Voices from life with ME/CFS (reading)

"Dear Silja - My sister, an unexplored illness and a death that honours life" - Birthe Viermann reads from her book.

Silja loves life – and is diagnosed with ME/CFS. The book tells the story of her journey, of saying goodbye and grieving, but also of solidarity, closeness and a love of life.
Ms Viermann will read from her book for around 60 minutes and provide information about ME/CFS. Afterwards, there will be time for questions and to browse the books and information table.
