Local Author Talk, Thursday 21st November, 6 – 7 pm
Join us as Kay Backhouse talks about her debut book “Losing You, Finding Me”, a truly inspiring account of Kay’s crusade to save her brother from a terminal illness and ultimately herself.
‘Syd was a warrior, a fighter, a hero – but I became acutely aware that it all came at a high price. A price I was no longer willing to pay.’
Do you live your life to please others? Have you ever had a niggling feeling that the path you’re on isn’t your own? That somehow, somewhere you took a wrong turn and now it’s too late to turn back. Kay takes us with her on a deeply intimate and transformative journey from deep grief to personal freedom. She helps to awaken us all to the possibility of living a truly authentic and unapologetic life in a world that so often tries to dictate who we should be. Utterly raw and vulnerable, Kay shows us all that we only get this one precious life, and we should never waste a moment of it.
Kay Backhouse is a published author, writer, and grief coach/mentor. She works at St John’s Hospice, Lancaster and is training to be a qualified counsellor specialising in bereavement. She was raised in the Yorkshire Dales, where she developed a strong connection to, and an appreciation of nature and its healing properties. In 2007 she emigrated to Australia where she lived and worked for ten years. She now resides in Morecambe with her husband and two grown up children.
