The Day I Died - Paperback

by Krysti-Glory Gallo (Author)

Krysti-Glory was born into a family shaped by heartbreak-a lineage where trauma was inherited like an heirloom and survival was the language every woman learnt too young. She carried those shadows into adulthood, determined to build a gentler world for her sons.

But when a sudden neurological illness stole her memory, her mobility, and almost her life, she was forced to face a question far older than her suffering: How do you heal a lineage you can barely survive yourself?

Waking from a coma into a body that betrayed her, Krysti found herself caught between the child she once was and the mother she was terrified of losing. Pain became her companion. Fear became her teacher. Love, fierce, maternal, bone-deep, became her anchor.

The Day I Died is a lyrical, raw memoir about motherhood, generational wounds, and the quiet, stubborn courage required to rebuild a life from the ruins. It speaks to anyone who has ever inherited pain and dared to create something softer in its place.
