In Search of You by Patsy Freeman
Death and dying are issues that cause most people in the Western world to catch their breath and change the subject, yet Patsy Freeman's chronicle In Search of You: Letters to a Daughter, as she writes letters to her daughter before and after her death, is a compelling page turner. Heart-rending, raw and often mystical, Patsy describes the shock of bereavement, her grief and guilt, and the confidence she now enjoys in a life after loss. With grace, sensitivity and without a trace of self-pity, Patsy reveals that we can all be heroes within the messy story of our lives. What Matt Haig did for depression in Reasons to Stay Alive, Patsy has done for loss as she finds the imperative to live a dynamic life - a beacon for those in grief.
Born in Dublin, Patsy Freeman initially trained as a state registered nurse. In her early forties she majored in psychology and holds an advanced certificate in counselling. She worked with patients in a GP practice in a trial to assess the benefits of counselling, and then opened her own private practice. Patsy lives in Gloucestershire and since the death of her daughter in 2013 gives inspirational talks on the healing powers of grief.
