Book excerpt: We never know how we'll deal with adversity until it confronts us. Elna Loodus was in many ways a typical mother, doing her best to balance her career and family with her anxiety disorder and spiritual needs.

Book Synopsis A Melody of Hope by : Cathy Robinson
Download or read book A Melody of Hope written by Cathy Robinson and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2011-07-22 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anguish, guilt, anger, fear, and hopelessness are words often used by mothers who suffer alongside a daughter with an eating disorder. Mothers care for the emotional, physical, and spiritual needs of their children, but who cares for them? Cathy Robinson watched her daughter starve herself until she was near death. The resulting helplessness was almost too much for a mother to bear. Making matters worse was the feeling that she was utterly alone in her guilt and pain. She needed others to identify with and help her through this difficult time. A Melody of Hope: Surviving Your Daughter’s Eating Disorder features inspirational true stories written by mothers of daughters who have recovered from eating disorders; they seek to provide encouragement, hope, and support to mothers beginning their journey. Told with breathtaking honesty and insight, these stories represent some of the many experiences shared by these mothers. For a mother coming to terms with her daughter’s illness, these stories represent a welcome community of understanding. “There are very few books that feature families, and fewer still recounting success stories. Far too many are stories written about the tragedy a family experiences when a family member dies as a result of the disorder, not about the much larger community that experiences success. Hope is what people need during those periods when it seems the disorder will never be overcome, and hope is what this book offers.” —Bryan Gusdal, MA, Program founder/director, Westwind Eating Disorder Recovery Centre, Brandon, Manitoba
Book Synopsis The Distorted Mirror by : Brenda Nottestad
Download or read book The Distorted Mirror written by Brenda Nottestad and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2003-05-26 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1998, Brenda Nottestad, a young Christian wife and mother, with two children, was breathing a sigh of relief that her life was so blessed and that her two children were growing into high achieving, good kids. Anorexia and bulimia were foreign to her with the exception of an occasional made-for-TV movie. Until, that is, her own daughter, at age 15 was caught throwing up at school and the cheerleading advisor contacted Brenda. Thus began the journey that is in this book. It is a mother's journal from the depths of disbelief and despair through a maze of counseling, medical treatment and prayer to reach the other side of a mountain she never dreamed her family would be asked to climb. As Brenda grieved, battled and fought the forces of darkness for her daughter, the easy answers she thought would come, just were not there. For every step forward, there were two steps backward. The healing truly had to be a process--a journey of intellect and faith. This book is a remarkable insight into a mother's heart, a daughter's pain, a family's faith, and God's truly amazing grace to overcome the insidious world that is eating disorders.

Download or read book Hungry written by Sheila Himmel and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2009-08-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A unique eating-disorder memoir written by a mother and daughter. Unbeknownst to food critic Sheila Himmel-as she reviewed exotic cuisines from bistro to brasserie- her daughter, Lisa, was at home starving herself. Before Sheila fully grasped what was happening, her fourteen-year-old with a thirst for life and a palate for the flavors of Vietnam and Afghanistan was replaced by a weight-obsessed, antisocial, hundredpound nineteen-year-old. From anorexia to bulimia and back again-many times-the Himmels feared for Lisa's life as her disorder took its toll on her physical and emotional well-being. Hungry is the first memoir to connect eating disorders with a food-obsessed culture in a very personal way, following the stumbles, the heartbreaks, and even the funny moments as a mother-daughter relationship-and an entire family-struggles toward healing.
Book Synopsis Recovery from Within by : Beatrice Arscott
Download or read book Recovery from Within written by Beatrice Arscott and published by . This book was released on 2018-11-18 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all get caught up in our thinking from time to time - it's part of what makes us human. But the stories we tell ourselves don't need to define who we are or how we live our lives. This is the premise for Recovery From Within, which Bea and Rebecca bring to life through the insights and personal stories they share about their battle with anorexia. This book is not a manual or a how-to guide about the dos and don'ts of 'treating' an eating disorder. This book goes much deeper and seeks to provide you with the keys to your own recovery. It will teach you how to see through the illusion that something is 'wrong' with us. For anyone struggling with an eating disorder or caring for someone who is, Bea and Rebecca's journey will resonate deeply. Yet, while their challenges were about anorexia and depression, the principles uncovered in their search for wellness apply to us all. In January 2008, Bea was diagnosed with anorexia nervosa. Since then, she and her mother, Rebecca, have been on a journey together which has led to Bea's full recovery. Bea lives with her boyfriend in London and Rebecca works as a resilience and wellbeing coach in South Wales.
