Synopsis

How on earth am I supposed to go on? How can I ever feel happy again? I just want to curl up in the foetal position and die. – These are the thoughts swirling within the mind of someone grappling with the aftermath of a devastating loss. Emotions so real, they threaten to break you …Why?...you have suffered a trauma. In "Why Me," embark on an emotional journey of a mother whose life has been shattered by an unimaginable tragedy, —the sudden and tragic death of her beloved daughter. This book is a must-read for anyone. It is a testament to the human spirit in the face of adversity. You will come to understand and learn that 'you aren't going mad', and that the intensity you are feeling does not have to last forever.Acquainted with the shattered pieces of the heart, she recognizes the profound heartbreak and soul-deep emptiness that loss can inflict. However, unlike our ancestors, who had no support, more and more research is being undertaken to understand why we feel the way we feel, and why we think the way we do.Wendy offers empathy and understanding, as well as a roadmap that you didn't think was available. How? Understanding trauma and cultivating self-awareness are essential steps on the path to healing. Part one is her story, and Part two contains the answers you need to know to the burning questions you have to navigate your life through this new reality. Wendy can't erase your pain, she'll empower you to embrace and navigate it. Through her guidance, you'll discover a pathway forward, where the intensity of suffering gradually lessens, paving the way for newfound strength and resilience and a new perspective. It is a story of survival, — a story that lingers in the soul, offering solace and inspiration long after the final page is turned.‘If you trust life, it can surprise you.’ – Wendy B King

Sarah Burleton relates in detail the verbal and physical abuse she suffered at the hands of her mother throughout her childhood. I'm sure it took a lot of courage to tell this story. But I'm not sure if telling it to me accomplishes anything. It's a shame she didn't tell it to someone who was in a p......more

Goodreads review by Ruth on October 12, 2014

A really quick read. I found it a flat and emotionless recitation of the abuse the author suffered until she ran away, and then the story finished. There's an epilogue telling us that she graduated, how she met her husband, how she attempted to reconnect with her mother, and the email she sent her mo......more

BROUGHT BACK THE PAST This book brought back so many memories of my own childhood, not so much the physical abuse but the mental torment. It is clear now turning the pages that Sarah’s mother had a mental disorder, but children are not aware of this and blame themselves for not being loved. It’s yet......more

Goodreads review by Michael on August 30, 2017

Prior to reviewing this book, I had no idea that this book will captivate me as the way it did. Based on my updates, I mentioned that I was not going to review this book, but my emotions took over my preference. I never had so much hate towards a character in my life, Sarah's mother was despicable.......more
