4.9/5 (13880 ratings)

Description:"Our screams,Our cries—They could’ve awakened the dead,But they ignored usAnd left you for dead."(Excerpted from “How many screams must continue to die in the wind?”)A mother pours out her grief over the loss of her daughter in this collection of thirty-four poems in which she blames not only the unforgiving mental illness and, sometimes, the “jealous gods” that have robbed her of the very same gifts—“humor, compassion and creativity”—that they’ve “generously bestowed upon her,” but the people and the institutions that, for various reasons (misplaced “beef” and/or revenge, stupid, rigid laws, shame and stigma, or indifference), conspire, inadvertently or not, with the illness to take the daughter’s life. Alternating between grief and sadness, pain and anger, the book reveals the frustration faced by a parent trying to cope with the devastating news of her child’s diagnosis, its subsequent effects on her, and those who love her, as well as outside forces that appear to just want to compound the problem. Anyone who has lost a child—or a loved one—will recognize the “five stages of loss and grief” in this loving tribute.Waithĩra hopes that the book, along with her lyrics and music by Dr. George Groth, will provide solace to people struggling with mental illness (bipolar, depression, schizophrenia and other mood disorders) themselves, and/or their kin. Her aim is to shine a bright light on the universal problems victims of mental disorders and their families face, help eradicate the stigma associated with the disease, and bring attention to the policies that fail to protect some of our most vulnerable in our society. In this way, the writer believes, the patients’ screams will not “continue to die in the wind,” and the pain and suffering as well as death of her daughter—all will not be in vain.To purchase a copy of REQUIEM FOR NJERI, contact us at:[email protected] have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
