Publisher's summary

A tragic curveball. Her world changed forever. Would she fight her way out of despair?

October 2021. Whitney Lyn Allen’s happiness came screeching to a standstill. Stunned by her husband Ryan's rare allergic reaction to a bee sting, the 35-year-old felt hopeless after Ryan succumbed to irreversible brain damage. With his unexpected death leaving a massive gap in their close-knit family, she feared she would never be enough to raise their two young boys.

With no support other than her own courage, the widow struggled to build a new life out of the ashes. And by refusing to view herself as a broken victim, Whitney pushed through the heartache and found the strength to thrive.

In this moving and gritty account of one woman’s journey after the unimaginable, Whitney Lyn Allen reminisces on her beautiful 10-year love story and the battle to reach hard-won peace. And as she shares how she brought light out of darkness, listeners will be touched and inspired to always believe in a better tomorrow.

Running in Trauma Stilettos: A Raw Glimpse at Grief and Life After Loss is a heart-wrenching memoir that illustrates the power of resilience and hope. If you like intimate narratives, stories that motivate, and triumph over tragedy, then you’ll be moved by Whitney Lyn Allen’s remarkable reflections.

Thanks For Sharing

It was good to hear someone’s story of loss. I lost my husband in a similar way. He was brain dead within 24hours of a sudden cardiac arrest. Your timeline was very stressful, sorry for your struggles. You are a good writer.
