underst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>of</strong> their migration histories. Participants spoke about the multiple losses theyhad experienced in their lives <strong>and</strong> the way in which these losses had had a detrimental impacton their wellbeing <strong>and</strong> ability to resettle in New Zeal<strong>and</strong>. Some participants directly linkedthese losses to the subsequent development <strong>of</strong> TB.<strong>The</strong> diagnosis <strong>of</strong> TB was yet another loss for participants <strong>and</strong> another obstacle to beovercome. Participants spoke about the ramifications TB has had upon their health <strong>and</strong> socialst<strong>and</strong>ing in part due to the enduring stigma attached to the disease. Despite suggestions thatstigma has improved due to increased education about the disease, most individuals went togreat lengths to hide their illness <strong>and</strong> experienced considerable isolation when the truthemerged. <strong>The</strong> final theme highlights the extent to which TB can result in ongoing loss withmany participants facing ongoing health issues related to their experience <strong>of</strong> TB. Due to thelength <strong>of</strong> time before diagnosis, many individuals were extremely unwell <strong>and</strong> continue to livewith the after-effects <strong>of</strong> the damage the disease has had upon their bodies.While this paper has only briefly touched upon three aspects <strong>of</strong> the TB journeys faced bySomalis, I have attempted to highlight why it is vital to consider the lived experiences <strong>of</strong>migrants/refugees in order to underst<strong>and</strong> the burden <strong>of</strong> TB amongst this group. TB is notexperienced in isolation from wider life experiences <strong>and</strong> struggles, a point which was directlyacknowledged by a number <strong>of</strong> my research participants. For many people I spoke with, TB isassociated with pr<strong>of</strong>ound loss with many ramifications for the lives <strong>and</strong> wellbeing <strong>of</strong> thoseconcerned.Acknowledgments<strong>The</strong> author wishes to gratefully acknowledge the contribution <strong>and</strong> support <strong>of</strong> the Auckl<strong>and</strong>Somali Community <strong>and</strong> supervisors Pr<strong>of</strong>.
