About this listen

Are you struggling to navigate the complex journey of congenital heart disease in your family?

Do you feel overwhelmed and isolated after your child’s diagnosis?

Are you searching for practical advice and emotional support to help you through this difficult time?

Do you want to connect with a story that truly understands what you’re going through?

Finding out your child has congenital heart disease is a daunting experience. The emotional turmoil, endless medical appointments, and uncertainty about the future can be overwhelming. Gerry and Her Pacemakers: Living with Congenital Heart Disease—Practical Advice and Emotional Support for Families Facing Heart Disease is here for you.

Gerry’s story goes beyond survival. It is about thriving against the odds and finding joy in the journey. In this candid and heartfelt book, Gerry shares her story: from her diagnosis in 1987 as one of around 4,600 babies born with congenital heart disease in the UK every year to six open-heart surgeries, three pacemakers, and countless other procedures. This book is both a memoir and a comprehensive resource filled with the advice and knowledge Gerry and her family wish they had known from the beginning.

With over 30 years of personal experience and countless interactions with families facing similar challenges, Gerry offers refreshingly optimistic and practical insights, emotional support, and guidance that can help you get through this journey without losing your way.
