Bücher von Katherine Krige

After returning from a 10-month trip through Africa, I was keen to keep travelling. The world awaited and teaching English overseas seemed the perfect way to do so. That is until I met Brad, and everything changed. Girl meets boy, falls in love, and happily ever after looms on the horizon. Until a fateful phone call changes the journey all over again.This is a trip that no one wants to take, but far too many people do. I went from a newlywed with a baby in tow to the overwhelming world of the local cancer clinic, intensive treatments, and a spiralling of life as I knew it. While hope never waned, loss was on the horizon.This is a heartbreaking and intensely personal grief memoir exploring love and loss but, more importantly, the path to healing. I ask you to walk with me as I try to make sense of it all, with the hope of discovering a new road. Why? Because you are never alone. A journey shared, no matter the struggle, is a voyage from which you can survive, learn, and grow. If you have ever questioned or doubted your path, take my hand as we "Ride the Waves" together.
