This memoir recounts my true story of how a virus took away two major senses instantly and permanently.

How Atheists Cope with Grief

In my book, Suddenly Silent and Still, I disclose I am an atheist and recount my lonesome journey through grief without a divine hand to hold. Several readers have expressed interest in understanding how atheists cope under senseless suffering. What do atheists do in tough times without faith to lean on? Some readers even left prayers on my behalf instead of a book review. Thank you. I appreciate Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Nin Mok  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Trauma happens when a tragedy surpasses a person’s ability to cope.”
Nin Mok, Suddenly Silent and Still

“No one’s trauma is greater than that of another because the grief being felt is equal. The only difference is the story.”
Nin Mok, Suddenly Silent and Still
tags: wisdom

“Whatever the mind believes, the body has a better chance of becoming. An absolute diagnosis is therefore not only false, but also unhelpful.”
Nin Mok, Suddenly Silent and Still

“At some point in their life, everyone is given a mission - something they are called to do. And what's important to remember is that, no matter how difficult that undertaking may be , it's their duty to fulfill that task. One day, you may be called to do something you don't think you have the strength to handle - something that scares you. It may even terrify you. That's when you need to dig deep inside yourself and find the courage. It's there.”
Laurie Jameson

Nin Mok "Seneca, a Roman philosopher, is attributed to having said, “If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favourable.” I humbly disagree. If one does not know to which port one is sailing, all winds are favourable." ~ Nin Mok in Suddenly Silent and Still (upcoming book).
