Omschrijving

For a mother, the loss of a child is perhaps the most devastating experience possible. Having coped with the stillbirth of my first son seven months into the pregnancy, I thought I had felt deep hurt and unbelievable loss. However, what I was to go through with my firstborn daughter twenty-one years later was an even darker experience, a taste of living hell, which reached deeper into my very being than I ever could have thought possible.
My daughter survived the ravaging mental illness anorexia nervosa, but only just. She now has a meaningful and healthy existence. However, the fact that age labelled her an adult made getting help a daunting uphill struggle, punctuated with inexperience and fear.
This book was written to show the evil nature of the illness, how it invades the body and becomes all-controlling. It demonstrates the catastrophic effect anorexia has not only on the body but on human relationships, aspirations and life itself. I write it as a mother in the hope that it will help those struggling with the same illness in a family member, close relative or friend to understand the tough love needed to save that precious life.
If only one person is helped by reading this then my job is done, for knowledge, understanding and, above all, unconditional love will help save someone you love. May your outcome be a good one, as ultimately this is a story of survival and hope for the future.
