    An honest & riveting portrayal of accepting life on it's terms...
  

*by N***K on Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2020*

Deep down... all us women truly want to be cherished, adored, fussed-over and loved. A good day is knowing you look good, feel good and people around you respond to that energy. I would love to be in my thirties again, but life does not work that way, we can't go in reverse, and that truth is horribly painful. Most of my heartaches, dark moments, depression, anxiety and fear arise from that shocking reality. I do believe it's triggered by loss of hope and projecting the letting go of one's self whereby fearing anonymity and becoming invisible. From that fear arises bad memories, past failures, dreams unfulfilled, dysfunctional family dynamics from childhood, regrets and simply feeling less than zero.  I continue to walk in those dismal shoes everyday and it takes herculean strength to rise up each morning with hope of a better day and knowing God truly has me here for reason and purpose.  No one is immune to depression or anxiety, it lurks in the recesses of our brain and for reasons unknown, it's etiology remains a mystery to even the most acclaimed neuroscientists. It could be a dark cloudy day or inner thoughts of unworthiness that start the embers of depression and anxiety, for each of us the triggers are remarkably different. You are a beautifully courageous woman Naomi Judd, here on Earth for reason and purpose. The Lord will truly bless your path in life and light the way where there are shadows of darkness. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this brutally honest and well written tome for the "beautiful little girl" inside all of us that forever remains.  Update on 4/30/2022:  Homeward bound ... Rest with the angels in Heaven and forever light a path for Wy and Ashley that they may always feel your presence and love surrounding them. Heaven is a beautiful place, we take only pure love with us and find eternal peace within the Lord's home.  Thank you for being Naomi, a beautiful heart and spirited soul who gave such courage, love and wisdom to all us weary travelers in this journey called life. Rest forever in sweet Heaven surrounded by God's eternal love.

    MUST Read for anyone who has buried their trauma
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2016*

Be warned: This was not a feel good story.  But it isn't supposed to be.  It's about long buried trauma that bursts forth whenever your self-medication with work or kids or drugs or alcohol inevitably goes away.  It's told with stark truth, raw emotion, and heartbreaking reality.Naomi's story happened on a grand scale- child of poverty, neglect and abuse somehow powers through, but accumulates searing trauma after trauma that have to be suppressed instead of processed.  With enormous talent and grit and luck, she makes something really big of herself.  Naomi's career brought financial success, but what may be less obvious is that her sense of purpose and accomplishment and the connection with her audiences effectively put her traumas in a dorment state.  And then the music literally stopped.  She retired.  Without the self-medication of her career, all her suppressed trauma came screaming out.Most people who'll read this are not famous performers, but at some point in life, we will all lose critical elements of ourselves.  Small children will grow into independent adults, rewriting the significance and purpose as our role as parents.  Careers will stall or cease, or at their best, come to an inevitable end as we age, taking with them the purpose and power we found from work.  Marriages will dissolve, ripping away our identities as wives or husbands, taking away the hope and possibility and future that we once thought those roles held.So if/when it happens to you, what pain or trauma is still stored in your heart, waiting for a chance to burst forth and ride the tide of pain that comes with bittersweet or unwanted conclusions?It took this lovely, strong woman more than three years to manage all the s*** that she'd been avoiding for decades.  And I must say, reading her story makes my own trials look small by comparison.  I also grew up amid instability and abuse, and promised myself that when I grew up, I'd always protect my children.  Then I gave birth to stillborn twins, and there was nothing I could do to protect them.  That's when all of my buried trauma seeped out like sewage.  Writing about it helps you heal, and helps others since our pain is our own but our situations are shared by too many just like us. If your unprocessed trauma is about miscarriage, this might help 
  
To Full Term: A Mother's Triumph Over Miscarriage







  
  
    I'm so grateful to Naomi for writing this book.  Thank you, ma'am.  It was brave.  I know it was therapeutic for her, and will be incredibly helpful for the millions who struggle with unresolved trauma.  Read it with tissues nearby, and big bear hugs to anyone who needs them.
