Overview
"Discover deeper sources of comfort, hope, and purpose while enduring hardship. We have all felt the effects of emotional pain when seeing someone's trauma first-hand. Whether on the news or in our day-to-day lives, witnessing pain takes its toll on our hearts. For those in the trenches with loved ones experiencing deep pain, Secondhand Suffering(TM) is the silent anguish, the heavy emotional burden that grips our hearts. Characterized by an overwhelming sense of helplessness and hopelessness, this often invisible heartache is felt when someone we're close to suffers an illness, disability, or a life-limiting condition we can't fix. Being riddled with guilt for appearing ""just fine"" when a loved one is visibly not can wear us down, especially when our secondary pain goes unnoticed and undiscussed. In Hope for Secondhand Suffering(TM), Camille Block shares heartfelt reflections on her life as the sister of a person with cerebral palsy quadriplegia. Her relatable journey invites us to find our own purpose in the midst of enduring emotional pain. We can discover an empathy that transforms us, a hope that renews us, and a curiosity that frees us. Through the lens of experience, Camille takes us on her journey, offering practical and spiritual answers to some of life's toughest questions."

Author Information
"Camille Block is an author, entrepreneur, and career coach and serves as conservator, advocate, and ""voice"" for her beloved brother, who lives with cerebral palsy quadriplegia. After earning a degree in social science from Pepperdine University, she set out on a lifelong pursuit of emotional and spiritual wholeness, driven by an empathetic heartache for her brother and a restlessness for answers that extend beyond shallow cliches. Her passion is to help give a voice to silent sufferers and connect people to their purpose. As empty nesters with three adult children, Camille and her husband live in Southern California. She enjoys sipping frothy lattes in a real mug, engaging in deep talks with friends, walking on the beach in the sunshine, and playing a variety of games with her family when her kids visit."
