A Dose of the Generational Heartache: It stops with me

Some wounds begin long before we are born, but they don't have to be ours to pass on. A Dose of the Generational Heartache: It Stops With Me is a deeply personal poetry collection exploring what we inherit, what we endure, and what we choose to leave behind. Moving through childhood, family, love, grief, loss, survival, and healing, these poems trace the ways the past follows us into who we become. For anyone carrying pain that began before them, this collection is a reminder: we can love where we came from without carrying all of it forward.
