Description:
A Humorous Look at Chronic Illness and the Ridiculous Things People Say, by Marie Ciampa. Ever had someone say something that made you pause, raise an eyebrow, and think, “Did they really just say that?” Chronic illness is tough enough, but the absurd comments from well-meaning friends, family, and even strangers can be downright hilarious (and sometimes baffling). In The Shit people say!, Marie takes readers on a rollercoaster ride through the most ridiculous and unintentionally funny remarks made to someone living with chronic illness. Each chapter dives into a different comment, offering laughs, insight, and a reminder that a little humour can go a long way when dealing with the hard realities of illness. This book is a must-read for anyone living with chronic illness, as well as their families and friends. It’s time to laugh through the awkwardness, learn from the misunderstandings, and share the experience with a smile. Duration - 4h 11m. Author - Marie Ciampa. Narrator - Samantha Cheung. Published Date - Sunday, 11 January 2026. Copyright - © 2025 Marie Ciampa ©.
