About the Book

An intimate account of survival, love, grief, recovery, and the courage to continue.

Book cover for I SURVIVED by Richard Schooping
I SURVIVED

Through love, grace, grit, and compassion

I SURVIVED tells a true story of more than 30 years living through HIV/AIDS, brain injury, encephalitis, and depression.

It is also a story about relationships, the fragility of memory, the unexpected shape of healing, and the love that helps carry us through our most difficult chapters.

It does not promise a perfect ending. It offers something more human: the possibility of being here, unfinished and grateful.
