Scratched

At forty-seven, Asha thought she had life figured out, until grief struck like a storm, leaving her shattered and searching for meaning.

Scratched is the story of a woman who lost her cornerstone, spiralled into the depths of anxiety and depression, and fought her way back, not with grand victories, but with quiet realisations, raw introspection, and the healing power of acceptance.

Through nights haunted by panic and days weighed down by sorrow, it was the unwavering love of her husband, VK, that became her lifeline. His presence, patience, and unconditional care kept her afloat when she thought she might drown.

From the weight of loss to the anxiety of mirroring her mother's struggles, this memoir is not just about surviving; it's about understanding. It's about making peace with the past, embracing the imperfections of life, and finding strength in the very places that once felt broken.

Scratched is a lighthouse for anyone who has ever felt lost, alone, or uncertain of their path. It is a reminder that healing isn't about erasing the scars; it's about learning to live with them. It's a hand held out in the dark, saying, "you are not alone in this journey".
