Advance Praise

A memoir Writing to Heal the Pain is focused on the transformation of emotional pain and loss into growth and understanding. It's also a call to action for social change. Given the rise of the gig economy and decline of any sense of long-term security, this book couldn't have been more timely. If anything, we are likely to see more stories like this in the future. The author went through a loss of her career followed by the domino effect of losing her income, status, friends, and, ultimately, personal identity. The underlying message of the book is that it could happen to anyone. Going through it was tough but writing about what went on changed the author's life in a miraculous way.

Mateja shares her journey of losing her career and the pain and hardships that followed through a variety of writings including short stories and poems. I am grateful for Mateja's vulnerability and sharing such honest thoughts and how writing is helping her to heal. This book is a good read for anyone going through a difficult time who needs encouragement of how to deal with the pain and to know they are not alone. Thank you to Netgalley and BooksGoSocial for an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.

This book has my kind of stories, the stories that I know all too well, simply because I too got into writing to numb my pain, but along the way, I learned that writing helped me embrace my pain, fears, and ultimately, it led me to a world of new possibilities. This is what this book is about, real life struggles and I love how the different stories are framed in words and styles that are not so foreign, but rather simple and conversational, it felt like someone started a conversation with "hey, have you ever...?"
Thanks Netgalley for the eARC.

I am reviewing a copy of Writing to Heak the Pain through BooksGoSocial and Netgalley:

In this book it is pointed out that Social Exclusion is painful for us as human beings. We need to be heard and have our existence acknowledged. Some of us find our voices through the written world.

Writing to Heal the Pain is a memoir that focuses on transforming emotional pain into something that allows us to grow and to come to a deeper understanding. It is also a call to action for social change.

I give Writing to Heal the Pain Four our of five stars!

Happy Reading!

This book made me reflect on so many things I thought I was already done with. Mateja reminds you that nothing is immortal, that things change, and sometimes not for the best, but also shows herself as an example that writing can heal any wound, and I think that's what most of us (and I'm including myself) forget more often than not.
