Have you ever felt your pain was too much to bear? Have you ever asked, "Why me?"
Within these pages, Dr. B describes her journey to motherhood through the adoption of five multi-ethnic children from the foster care system, two of which suffered from severe PTSD and Anxious Attachment Disorder, losing her adopted son Johnnie, 13, in a tragic drowning accident, and then losing her two biological children and her beloved husband to the rare terminal genetic disease, DRPLA.
Helping her special needs children while grieving the loss of her son Johnnie and desperately trying to save son Reggie, daughter Miah and husband Bundy from the ravages of DRPLA only to watch them die… she could have turned her back on her faith, on her clinical practice, and on life.
Instead, she made a different choice, and it’s helping others navigate the rigors of grief to find power and purpose in their pain.
Are you ready to discover a hidden purpose in your suffering? In Dr. B’s book, Pain & Purpose, she fearlessly shares her remarkable journey of grief, resilience and transformation. This book will show you how to find purpose after loss, how to separate grief from trauma, how to organize your thoughts to propel forward movement, and how to live with joy after loss.
With raw authenticity, Dr. B reminds us that vulnerability is not a weakness, but a courageous step toward healing, and that the human spirit possesses an astonishing capacity to endure, triumph, and find purpose in the pain.
Her inspiring journey will ignite your own search for purpose, no matter the obstacles in your path. Through her experiences, she becomes a shining beacon of hope for those grappling with their own pain. Her story serves as a testament that even in the darkest moments, you can uncover your inner light.
This memoir, intertwined with self-help wisdom, is a compelling narrative of pain, strength, and the incredible power of self-discovery. If you're seeking inspiration and a renewed sense of purpose, Pain & Purpose: My Journey to Mental Strength is a must-read.
