Surviving: My unexpected safari through grief, betrayal, and becoming
How do you cope when life blindsides and drops you into an emotional wilderness you don’t recognize?
In 2013, Kimberley Clark’s world looked perfect. A loving marriage. Two sons on the cusp of adulthood. A career with purpose. A home filled with joy, travel, and a vast tribe of family and friends she adored.
She had no idea how quickly most of it would end.
Over the next decade, her life unraveled in ways she could never have imagined.
The tragic death of her oldest son, Brock.
Her neighbourhood that unnaturally collapsed.
A devastating betrayal by her husband.
The loss of her dream home.
One by one, her three beloved dogs died.
Left standing in an emotional desert, Kimberley had to find her way back to herself. But on her unexpected safari, she discovered she was guided by a presence she could feel but not see. Her deceased son, Brock, was continuously reaching out with signs from the other side. And just when she felt like she couldn’t survive —his support showed up in mysterious ways.
Raw, spiritual, and fiercely human, this unforgettable personal memoir explores how death, betrayal, and loss can abandon you on the Serengeti of life… and still lead you toward an evolution you never saw coming.
Perfect for fans of Wild and The Year of Magical Thinking, this heartbreaking yet profoundly inspiring true story explores the deepest depths of human pain and the incredible post-traumatic growth that follows. It is a roadmap for anyone navigating the wreckage of death, divorce, loss, and trauma, proving that even when you lose everything, you can still find your way back to yourself.
Discover a breathtaking story of resilience, messages from heaven, and the beautiful, messy process of becoming.
