| Summary |
"What happens when a trauma therapist is traumatized by loss? Meghan Riordan Jarvis lived a charmed childhood with her large Irish-Catholic family: loving parents, a house full of siblings, a top-tier education, and summers on Cape Cod. And yet, loss was part of her story from the beginning. In therapy in her 20's after a break-up, Meghan discovered how the silence surrounding a childhood tragedy had laid the groundwork for a life spent trying to keep other people happy and avoiding any type of risk, including love. She even became a grief and trauma therapist herself. Despite her clinical training, Meghan's life came undone. Still reeling from her father's death two years earlier, Meghan was vacationing with her mother and children when her mother died suddenly. Thrown into a maelstrom of grief, Meghan knew what she had to do, check herself into the same trauma facility to which she typically sent her patients. A story of resilience, vulnerability, and life after loss, End of the Hour is for anyone who has experienced the unpredictable, lasting power of grief, and wondered how they'd ever get through it"-- Provided by publisher. |
