About the Publication

Woken Up - Beautiful Soul is Helen Gosling’s deeply personal memoir of family devotion, traumatic brain injury, caregiving and the enduring bonds between a mother and her daughters.
When her sister Sarah suffered a traumatic brain injury at the age of twenty-two, her family's life changed forever. Sarah survived for another thirty-one years in a minimally conscious state, while Helen spent sixteen years helping to care for her. Later, she faced another painful challenge as her mother developed dementia.
Through illness, loss and the demands of long-term care, Helen recounts a remarkable family journey shaped by unconditional love, resilience and sacrifice. Written with honesty and tenderness, Woken Up – Beautiful Soul also explores grief, spiritual awakening and the search for meaning when life takes an unexpected course.

"This is not just a story of loss.
It is a story of remembering who you are."

About the Author

Helen Gosling is the author of Woken Up - Beautiful Soul, a deeply moving memoir inspired by the resilience of her mother and her sister, Sarah. Following a traumatic brain injury at age twenty-two, Sarah lived for another thirty-one years in a state of minimal consciousness, becoming the heart of an extraordinary story of family devotion.
Helen spent sixteen years co-caring for Sarah, and later navigated caring for her mother through dementia - a profound journey that inspired her writing to process grief and uncover hope. Transitioning from a nineteen-year corporate career in advertising sales, Helen has spent the last six years practicing holistic and spiritual healing. She intends to expand into motivational speaking on trauma advocacy. Helen lives with her son and her miniature schnauzer, Max, finding peace in nature and everyday moments.
