Karen,

I read A Life in Pieces or Switching Time a long time ago, but I still can’t put it down! I tell everyone about it and they are all eager to read it.
What did it feel like when you ‘lost time’ ?
I hope your feeling better now.

Lots of love from Monica

Dear Monica,

Thank you for your compliments and for sharing my story with your friends! That means so much to me.

Losing time felt as if someone had pushed a pause button and I would “go away” for a while, and then come back without any awareness of having been gone. I would only realize I lost time by looking at a clock or finding myself somewhere different than where I assumed I should be. It was a bit frightening coming out of a lost time pause, because during those few moments I’d feel weak and confused. But then I would re-adjust to my current whereabouts and continue on.

A second read… I will take that as a compliment, too!  Thank you!

Karen
