Summary

“I have had nothing bad happen to me except my own doing. I have let this cowardice envelop me, and I can’t shake it off. I will commit the worst thing you can ever do to someone who loves you: killing yourself. The scary thing is, I’m okay with that.” —Victoria McLeod, Singapore, March 30, 2014 
 
Loss Adjustment is a mother’s recount of her 17-year-old daughter’s suicide. 
 
In the wake of Victoria McLeod’s passing, she left behind a remarkable journal in her laptop of the final four months of her life. Linda Collins, her mother, has woven these into her memoir, which is at once cohesive, yet fragmented, reflecting a survivor's state of mind after devastating loss. 
 
Loss Adjustment involves the endless whys, the journey of Linda Collins and her husband in honouring Victoria, and the impossible question of what drove their daughter to this irretrievable act. A stunningly intimate portrait of loss and grief, Loss Adjustment is a breaking of silence—a book whose face society cannot turn away from.
Available since: 07/31/2023.
Print length: 316 pages.

  • The Envy in YOU the Envy in ME! - Escape the Dogma of the Deadliest of sins & Explore Your potential Life! - cover

    The Envy in YOU the Envy in ME!...

    Envy, being arguably the deadliest of the seven deadly sins is a sin that gives none of us any pleasure. If you are like me then you have probably envied others for their talents, achievements and successes. But hey, I think this is kind of a natural human trait too, because those unhealthy emotions that it stirs up inside of us leaves us with two options on how we can deal with them: Live a petty, jealous and envious life that is controlled by these nasty emotions or break free from them and feel inspired by those people that you envy. Although the latter option is never going to be the easy one to choose, because by doing so, we will be confronted with other envious people because let's face it, we live in an envious world that wants nothing more than to see us fail. 
But after living for over half my life in one of the happiest nations in the world I have stumbled upon a few secrets of how one can go about living life free from envy's deadly crutches! 
In this book, I share these secrets, which to be honest aren't really secrets at all...more like common sense. I simplify and organize them into what I suppose one could call the "Ten commandments of living a life Envy free". No, not in a biblical sense... But more like a healthy way of living, where one can live ones life free and in love with the process of exploring ones potential. 
So Let's dig IN!
