In Krankenhäusern und Altenheimen verbreitet sich rasch ein Phänomen, das Pflegenden, Teams, Organisationen, Management und Patienten gleichermaßen schadet: horizontale Feindseligkeit. Warum Pflegende sich gegenseitig das Leben schwer machen, was horizontale Feindseligkeit ist, wie man sie erkennen kann, wer gefährdet ist und wie sie reduziert werden kann, beschreibt dieses Buch. Die Autorin zeigt, wie Pflegende einander kollegial, wertschätzend und respektvoll begegnen können, um so horizontale Feindseligkeit einzudämmen und aufzulösen.

At just 17, the protagonist's life changes when Reverend James arrives at her local Baptist Chapel. This pivotal moment sets the stage for her journey of self-discovery, faith, and the complexities of growing up in a religious environment. As she navigates her feelings and the community's expectations, themes of spirituality, love, and rebellion emerge, shaping her identity and future. The story explores the impact of a charismatic figure on a young woman's life and the choices she must make in the face of societal pressures.

The narrative chronicles a personal journey through significant health challenges, including bowel cancer, pneumonia, and lung cancer, spanning from July 2007 to June 2009.

The account offers a poignant insight into the struggles and resilience faced during a tumultuous period of illness.

The collection features poems inspired by personal experiences, offering encouragement and acceptance of life's challenges. Through a mix of direct narratives, allegorical tales, and parables, the author invites readers to reflect on their own journeys. Each piece serves as a reminder to embrace whatever life brings, making it a thoughtful and uplifting read.
