Spotlighting Secondhand Suffering

Camille Block is the author of Hope for Secondhand Suffering: Tools for the heart when you can't fix our loved one's pain. Camille Block talks about the trauma of secondhand suffering. Her younger brother had cerebral palsy paraplegia, she was only 6 when her parents and doctors decided he should be moved to a home. She didn't have any say and trusted her parents and the doctors. As an adult after dropping her daughter off at college, her mom had a stroke and passed away within 5 days. She started writing and realized all the current events were connected to the trauma she suffered secondhand from her brothers disability. Her hope is this book will help others who have suffered similarly will feel hope and see they are not alone.  Camille Block Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
