THIS IS IN HONOUR OF MY LATE MOTHER&GRANDMOTHER
My name is Patrice White, I'm from the United Kingdom.
Hello.
I am a ***former***full-time family carer (caregiver) for over 20+years from 6-26 years old, of my late disabled mother, who died in 2014 at the age of only (51).
She was always my mother yes, but it was not hard to understand that our roles were indeed reversed, which i'm sure you can understand was difficult in itself for the both of us.
My dear mother lived with chronic and often deadly conditions such as Schizophrenia,Sickle Cell(A disease affecting the red blood cells)Causing painful crisis attacks and many hospital stays. Type 2 diabetes, Arthritis,Pulmonary embolisms (Blood clots), causing her to be in critical intensive care in 2005 for two weeks in a coma.
As a child, I thought I was going to loose her then, I did the usual thing by going up everyday to see her, despite her being unconscious much of the time, I remember saying my last goodbyes and preparing in my head how I was going to live on without her, how being an only child would make me feel even more alone in this world without her, Through Grace, I was able to welcome her home, it all changed however because upon my mother's waking, she never quite was the same.
It was at this point, where my grieving truly started, way before 2014, When she finally physically passed away.
Currently now, While doing my utmost best to COPE through this trauma, I feel the burning empathetic urge(desire) to use my experiences to guide and support other's.
MY MISSION is to write and self publish a self help/self development/Guidance book (Memoir) that could hopefully bring comfort: "For the bereaved".

I can reveal i am openly candid about *ALL* Emotions i have (am) going through and feeling.
Not only that, i am divulging my STUMBLED UPON different coping mechanism
through which i am channelling bereavement, that is proving so far to be of assistance in moving me forward and well, enabling me to begin to find my way, a life after and attemp in rebuilding my sense of self and my purpose AGAIN.
With that being said, (I didn't mean to ramble on by the way)
If find it in your heart to contribute to something like this, please do, I will be sincerely greatful.
Prior to losing my Mommy, I unfortunately had to take leave of absence for the work force, because I decided to GUESS WHAT? Head back into the Caregiving field, this time however within a dementia care home facility, I know alittle premature right??? So ive been steadily trying to build a small business where i can be contracted as a freelancer, I have published articles on various websites, ranging from business, political views and LIFE AFTER journey upon charity website dedicated to the caregiver experience.
Money is alittle tight, as try to build a steady clientele, but before that, pick myself up off the ground and find steady footing, it's been really hard, harder than I thought it would be actually to have a HEART CENTRED creative business, nonetheless, all my personal blogs and even YouTube videos and Ofcourse podbean and my artwork have all been utilized to get an S.O.S message out in order to find my tribe so to speak (people who have gone through similar).
I guess you could also call this project venture, my way of keeping my mother's memory alive, and paying tribute to our time as MOTHER&DAUGHTER for 26 years, we didn't always see eye to eye, but we grew to be completely best friends, and Ofcourse we were each other's HOME.
The disney movie bambi so much resonates with me as well as the lion king. (Don't know why I mentioned this, but thought I'd throw it in)
If wondering, I've already tried the traditional publishing company route, in hopes of some forward movement, Unfortunately again
their seems to be another hurdle/brick walk (so far).
So i am having to go the SELF PUBLISH (INDIE PUB) route (at this time, as of this moment).
Through careful research, With this particular publishing avenue, I've noticed costs can indeed add up regarding INDIE PUB (Independent publishing) one needs to finance things such as: marketing costs&Team, IBSN'S, Materials, Equipment & Packaging, Copyright, other legal stuff, Possible Editors and Artists alike ect ect (Although I can attempt to draw,paint&design myself).
***DESIGN BRIEFING BOOK COVER (current status)
I have three finished products so far for the ebook edition***
Please let me know if you'd like to see the selections of front covers, and if can offer the resource of advice and tips, if you have SELF PUBLISHED yourself, Thank You.
May you all have a wonderful 2017
And remember "You are loved, I am loved, We are loved"
Namaste
