Jean Kaiserling had a happy marriage with a man she loved deeply. He was more than a good provider-he was her best friend and husband of twenty-four years. And then, suddenly he was ripped out of her life in a horrific industrial accident.
Bill was gone, and just as suddenly, Jean felt she had nothing to live for.
Her wonderful life was turned upside down, and Jean was left with severe depression, in an agony of loneliness. Yet, even as she prayed to God for comfort, she craved isolation, becoming withdrawn, speechless, thoughtless. Desperate. All she wanted was to join Bill in Heaven.
She drank to numb the pain.
Finally realizing she needed help in order to live the new, different life she'd been given, Jean reached out for counseling and therapy. Sessions with grief groups and mental health professionals all led to the same conclusion: Jean needed hospitalization...
...or Jean would die by her own hand.
Read the true story of Jean Kaiserling's descent into depression and despair and how inpatient psychiatric hospitalization-something Jean neither wanted nor enjoyed-impacted every aspect of her life, from friendships to spirituality to family relationships and beyond.
