"A moving and courageous memoir that offers an honest look at life before, during, and after a ruptured brain aneurysm." -Brain Aneurysm Foundation
At twenty-seven years old, Erin Dohan's life was suddenly split in two: life before the ruptured brain aneurysm and life after. I Think I'm Ready to Talk is the harrowing, yet unexpectedly hopeful, memoir of a young woman who survived when the odds were very much against her. What followed were years of fighting through one medical event after another: miscarriages, an emergency abortion, a complicated pregnancy, painful postpartum, and ultimately the loss of both ovaries. Erin spent those years slowly navigating the medical system, which often dismisses women's pain. With unflinching honesty and moments of dark humor, Erin explores what it means to rebuild a life while fighting against her body-and the constant pain-in a world that expects women to quietly endure and quickly bounce back. This is not just a story of survival. This is a story about reclaiming one's voice, one's control, and the courage to finally talk when so many others suffer in silence.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Koehler BooksISBN-13:9798897471881UPC:9798897471881Book Category:Health & Fitness, MedicalBook Subcategory:Women's Health, Surgery, Reproductive Medicine & TechnologyBook Topic:NeurosurgerySize:9.00 x 6.00 x 0.75 inchesWeight:0.518Product ID:SCY88WBFM1
Dohan, Erin: - Erin Dohan is an accounting controller, writer, wife, and mother whose life changed in an instant when she survived a ruptured brain aneurysm at twenty-seven years old. Her memoir, I Think I'm Ready to Talk, is a raw and unfiltered exploration of recovery, identity, and rediscovering herself and the purpose of life after the unimaginable. Drawing from her experience navigating hospitals, motherhood, and the aftermath of trauma, Erin writes with a blend of clarity, sensibility, witty humor, and compassion that invites readers to find strength in their own stories. When she is not writing, Erin leads financial strategy for fast-paced start-up companies, mentors women in leadership, and documents moments of modern life with her husband, their son, and their goldendoodle. She lives in the western suburbs of Chicago, where she continues to advocate for brain aneurysm awareness and the power of open, honest conversation and the journey toward healing.
