When Michael Rosen was very ill with Covid in 2020 it touched many who loved his writing for children as well as others who know him as a fellow political activist. It was only when he emerged from a coma that he found out about all the messages of support that has been sent to his family. He published the diary kept by the NHS staff who cared for him while he was in a coma and speaks about it HERE.
Michael Rosen has not been afraid to share the role that grief and trauma have had in his life. In speaking out about his experiences – and the lessons he has learned as a survivor – he inspires many more of us to find our own route to recovery and seek out moments of hope and happiness.
Since his personal fight with Covid-19 in 2020, Michael has been one of the most vocal champions of our NHS service, and the great work done by everyday people who take on life-saving professions. His experiences are shared in the book ‘Many Different Kinds of Love: A story of life, death and the NHS’.
More recently, his book ‘Getting Better’ takes a broader look at loss and adversity, considering what it can mean to live well in spite of the dark times that can come to any of us.
