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."
