Some things get handed down through families without a word ever being spoken — patterns, pain, ways of moving through the world that never quite felt like yours, because they weren't.
For more than two decades, Reiki practitioner Cathy Leigh held space for other people through illness, grief, and the hardest transitions of their lives. What she rarely spoke of was the pain she had spent years learning to suppress in her own — and the childhood moment she had guarded in silence for most of her life.
All Who Come After is the story of what happened when she finally let it move. It begins at her mother's bedside, with a truth neither woman had ever said aloud, and traces the inherited patterns that shaped them both — back to their roots, and forward to everyone who comes after.
This is a book for anyone who has wondered why certain feelings keep returning. Why forgiveness feels impossible. Why, even after years of work, something still feels stuck — and what it looks like to finally set it down.
