From Grief to Gratitude

In this honest and moving memoir, Catriona Whyte shares her experiences and personal insights learned throughout her nursing career, caring for patients and their families, whilst also coping with the profound loss of both parents at the age of eighteen.

She tells her story of depression and anxiety along with the tools that helped her manage these challenges, recognising that the most important life lessons she learned were through her lowest and darkest times. Catriona reflects on her struggles with the invisible loss from her miscarriages

and how Reiki transformed her life, bringing peace, hope and personal fulfilment.

In her quest to adopt a healthier lifestyle, she realised many things, amongst them, the importance of connection, to nature, to the breath, to other people, but most importantly to herself.

She recognises that it is OK and indeed part of human nature to experience different emotions simultaneously, such as grieving, whilst still finding happiness. Life is for living and expressing gratitude for this allows us to view the world through a different and more meaningful lens.
