Picking up the Pieces

In the chaos of a global pandemic, one woman faced a heartbreak no mask could protect her from.

When Christine Redmond, a senior intensive care nurse, lost her beloved father to Alzheimer's during the height of COVID-19, she was forced to navigate a devastating personal loss while supporting a system-and a team-on the edge of collapse.

In this deeply moving and honest memoir, she reflects on her dual roles as daughter and frontline nurse, and the crushing tension between professional duty and private grief. What emerges is not just a story of heartbreak, but one of transformation, resilience, and finding hope in the wreckage.

For fans of Reverend Richard Coles (The Madness of Grief), Adam Kay, and Christie Watson, this book is a beacon for anyone who has walked the tightrope of caring and coping, of loving deeply while losing everything.
