There are not many of us who are brave enough to share the emotional depth, troubles, and triumphs the way Therese Griffin has in Are You Hearing Me? — Tell Me Before I Die. I only met Therese recently, but I feel as though we have known each other for years. She had read my book, Covert Emotional Incest: The Hidden Sexual Abuse and wanted to relay her appreciation for the validation of the confidant and care-taker roles she was assigned growing up in her family. I was impressed with Therese's commitment to her personal growth and recovery. She is going strong at seventy years of age, and it is evident she will continue for years to come. Her passion for serving others through imparting her experience, strength, and hope is evident in person and the publication of this book.
Therese speaks specifically of her losses and how they led to finding her authentic self. She tells the truth about alcoholism and what it takes to be in recovery. Therese shares how vital spirituality is to a life that is happy, joyous and free. She also informs us of her learning disability, the toll it took on her, and how she has found ways to overcome it. So, if you are struggling with grief, addiction, a learning disability, or just plain humanity, Are You Hearing Me? will offer you feelings to relate to, the hope of healing and recovery, and specific thoughts and behaviors to practice on your path to serenity and joy.
