I Will Survive - 9781638126317

Leaving Trinidad two months short of my twentieth birthday to study nursing in England in 1975. Overcoming homesickness and culture differences to realise my dreams of qualifying as a nurse and midwife. Our busy lives as a midwife/ psychiatric nurse, working opposite shifts to ensure our children were cared for adequately. The problems ensueing involving my health, and subsequent car accident in 2002, cutting short my working life. Exploring the benefits of alternative treatments to aid management and recovery. Highlighting the importance of positive thinking, and an optimistic attitude to life. Expressing gratitude for being alive. Finally realising that having the accident at the time that I did was a blessing in disguise. I felt unwell. My body overworked and stressed. Something more sinister could have occurred in its place. It is in adversity that I learnt to survive by conquering my fears. To be the Victor instead of the victim.
