Roller Coaster Road

Roller Coaster Road

Sometimes a family experiences a roller coaster of emotions that are too painful to confront. They are simply suppressed; life limps on. Never sharing the details of one fall night 48 years ago, I finally had the courage to tell my story.​ tragedy

It was not an easy journey, but after working on it for over 10 years, it allowed me to release repressed emotions and finally put them to rest. Having found that release, I hope my story will help others overcome their life-changing events and persevere in their quest for happiness.

I travel back to fond childhood memories of joyful rides on a roller coaster road that seemed so benign, but would become a sinister roadway that would haunt me for so many years.

This story is about the pain of losing my sister in a tragic accident and my mother’s subsequent depression that deprived me of the support I needed to cope with her own loss. The raw truth is conveyed in this story of how I tried to make sense of my role in managing those losses.

A journey through death, heartache, loneliness, perplexity and despair until I met the man of my dreams who would rescue me from the sadness. He helped me overcome the sorrow and share with him an amazing, joyful life.
