Produktbeschreibung
A true story about coping and dealing with the many different emotions felt from bereavement and grief. Flaps and Chats follows the sad, traumatic but also liberating, and sometimes hilarious, journey of the author 'going it alone' after the loss of her beloved husband, her mother-in-law and finally her own mother. From Chatlines to affairs, from dating apps to swinging clubs, from foot fetishes to random sexual encounters. Free-falling into a hedonistic but unrealistic and unsustainable lifestyle. Eventually realising that grief can manifest itself emotionally and physically, along with crazy, irrational behaviour. Almost to the extent of pushing that self-destruct button in life and not caring about the outcome. Constantly looking for that 'quick fix' as a distraction, to numb any emotion and pain felt in the aftermath of bereavement. This book has short, sharp chapters reliving events with a no holds barred approach. Flaps and Chats tells the story of the high sexual euphoria of being wanted followed by the downward spiral and lows of depression and despondency soon afterwards. This book will have you feeling a mix of many emotions including laughter, tears and amazement.
Autorenporträt
Born in the 1960s, Helen Coneyworth - Smith still lives in the East Riding of Yorkshire area. She has a responsible and long-standing career in I.T. Consultancy, having acquired numerous specialist I.T. qualifications along with Project Management certificates and experience. She likes to continually strive for training and development in other areas, especially out of her comfort zone, and over the years has trained as a qualified Gym Instructor, Reflexologist and Massage Therapist. Helen has an avid interest in writing books and short stories. Writing this first book of memoirs has been an emotional and traumatic journey, having to recall childhood memories that have been 'locked away' in her mind. However it was something she needed to do to bring awareness of what can go on behind closed doors, with the hope that someone somewhere will recognise this and save a child from the mental and physical cruelty she had to endure.
