Something About Me and My Book:: I felt like I had been sleep walking through my life as I woke up one day in
my mid-thirties only to realize I was completely addicted to prescription
pain pills and they were killing me. As my journey to get sober began,
tragedy struck my family with eight deaths in less than two years. Fighting
to stay sober became harder as the mental, physical, and sexual abuse I
suffered as a child resurfaced and I discovered that I had PTSD and anxiety.
Post Trauma follows the first two years of a woman who has
unknowingly become addicted to prescription pain pills through
years of prescriptions. When she reveals this to her family and begins
the process of getting clean, her family endures several tragic deaths.
Suffering through physical and mental withdrawals, Renata was unable
to be supportive and had to rely on her family when they needed her
most. Renata Kell reveals the heart-wrenching experiences of her
struggle and her family’s grief and anger as they step up and inspire
her to stay sober. After a period of journaling, Renata’s mind began to
get clear only for her to have a total mental breakdown. She sought
professional help. Upon discovering her PTSD, Renata went against
counselors’ advice and wrote down flashbacks of severe physical
and sexual childhood abuse. Post Trauma portrays the wounds that
led Renata down this dangerous path and the secrets for which, now
revealed, she is finally finding healing. This tremendous story of faith
reminds of the need to lean on one another and accept the changes
in our lives. What could have turned out to be a tragic scenario has
become an inspiring tale of a family full of love and determination to
save each other.
