'Dr Moore's 1000-day-plus journey evocatively and beautifully
describes the mental devastation that personal loss can leave in
its wake and offers us the remarkable combination of expert
commentary and an intensely personal captivating narrative.' -
Peter Fonagy OBE, Professor of Contemporary Psychoanalysis and Head
of Division of Psychology and Language Sciences, UCL 'A book that
appeals to different audiences. It will reach out to those who have
lost loved ones and need the comfort and solace of knowing that
they are not alone in their suffering.' - Luisa Stopa, Professor of
Clinical Psychology, University of Southampton Vanessa's husband
Paul dies suddenly and tragically on their regular Sunday morning
swim. How will she cope with her dilapidated house, her teenage
children, the patients who depend on her? Will therapy help? Why do
mysterious white feathers start appearing in unexpected places? As
a clinical psychologist, Vanessa Moore is used to providing therapy
and guidance for her patients. But as she tries to work out how to
survive the trauma that has derailed her life, she begins to
understand her profession from the other side. Like her, many of
her patients were faced with life events they hadn't been expecting
- a child born with a disability or life-limiting illness, a sudden
bereavement, divorce, failure - and it is their struggles and
stories of resilience and bravery that begin to help her process
her own personal loss. Taking us through her journey towards
recovery as she navigates the world of dating and tries to seek the
right therapy, Vanessa uses her professional skills to explore the
many questions posed by unanticipated death and find a way
forwards. Beautifully written and honestly relayed, One Thousand
Days and One Cup of Tea is a heartbreaking grief memoir of the
process of healing experienced as both a bereaved wife and clinical
psychologist. "This book is about a period of great loss in my
life, a time when the tables were completely turned on me. I was a
qualified therapist who suddenly found myself needing psychological
therapy. I was a trained researcher who became my own research
subject, as I tried to make sense of what was happening to me. I
was an experienced manager who now struggled to manage the events
taking place in my own life. Yet, throughout all this turmoil, my
patients were always there, in the background, reminding me that
there are many different ways to deal with loss and trauma and
search for a way forwards." Vanessa Moore
