I Almost Lost Her

I almost lost my daughter after she gave birth to twins. I did not have the diagnosis. I had something else: I

knew her recovery was not moving in the direction I expected.

I Almost Lost Her is a personal experience guide about what happened, what I noticed, what I did not know,

and what I learned while trying to advocate for someone I love.

I almost lost my daughter after she gave birth to twins.

I did not have the diagnosis. I was not the clinician in the room. I was her mother, and I could see that something was changing.

I Almost Lost Her is a personal story about what happened, what I noticed, what I did not know, and what I learned while trying to advocate for someone I love.

This is not a medical textbook and it is not legal advice. It is the book I wish I had before I was standing in a hospital room trying to understand what had changed and what question to ask next.

Inside, I share how I learned to:
• notice changes from a person’s normal baseline
• ask clearer questions when I did not understand the plan
• document conversations while the details were fresh
• stay focused when I felt I was not being heard
• ask better questions before going home
• support a loved one without pretending to be the clinician in the room

The book also includes a practical advocacy toolkit to help you organize questions, notes, and next steps.

You do not have to know everything.

You need enough clarity to notice what changed, ask what comes next, and keep your own record.
