La Petite Mort: David Paris Is Going To Die
LA PETITE MORT: DAVID PARIS IS GOING TO DIE
As someone who has worked within political parties, unions and non-government organisations on social and environmental issues for the past 20 years, David Paris has been no stranger to the occasional brutality of public and private life. But when his health began deteriorating, he found himself facing an ongoing battle with chronic pain and fatigue - as well as feeling the slow and significant peeling away of a social circle unable to comprehend his at times invisible battle.
In darker moments, David has sought solace in those also delicately balancing across the see-saw of constant pain management - understanding that thoughts of death can be simultaneously confronting and comforting, and it's something we shouldn't be afraid to talk about.
TW: Chronic illness, suicide.
