Guest, Geralyn Ritter, Health Care Policy Expert and Author
Guest Name, Geralyn Ritter
After healing from over 31 surgical procedures, battling chronic pain management, and keeping depression at bay, Geralyn Ritter has climbed her way back to a life of happiness and healing. Now, you can find her ringing the NYSE bell and organizing events championing for women’s health. But it was a hard-won battle to leave the hospital and be with her family and friends again, which she details in her new memoir, Bone by Bone: A Memoir of Trauma and Healing [Out June 28, 2022 with Core Media Group].
It made nationwide news. On May 12, 2015 an Amtrak train derailed traveling to New York City, killing 8 passengers and injuring over 200. Geralyn Ritter was one of those passengers. Her pelvis was shattered and all her organs were pushed up by her heart. Her story begins with this fateful accident and details every resilient step she took to make it to home and back to her family. She goes further to describe her fight to get prescription medications and adjust to her husband as a caregiver.
A women's healthcare policy advocate and expert as well as a first-hand trauma survivor, Geralyn Ritter can uniquely speak to:
- Her incredible story of surviving the train derailment and her hard-fought battle to gain back her life
- How trauma survivors can start the work of self-healing and emotional recovery
- Experiencing loss under extreme stress
- Forgiveness: letting go of pain from those who caused a traumatic incident
- Understanding "Poly-Trauma" as a survivor of physical and psychological challenges
- 3 Ways to Stay on Top of Insurance and Prescriptions During a Trauma Recovery
- Holding onto gratitude in times of personal crisis

SUBSCRIBE TO TALK SHOW
All Roads Lead 65 Max Radio hosted By Pamela L Henderson brings you honest discussions and topics about what's real in the world, having open discussions of your ‘Truth’ pertaining to obstacles and challenges that one will either endure over a period of time that has caused hardships and limited resources. Pamela who has overcome Injustice and obstacles on her journey had a vision to help give a platform for young adolescents to speak about how we can together as a diversity culture make our voices heard and be able to move forward through Social Growth. If you take a stance against bullying, you are standing against it. If you take a stance on a contentious issue, it means you believe strongly about it one way or the other. This stance effects everyone, therefore her talk show will allow leaders and the community to be heard, and to heal through the discussions at a happy medium and to suggest solutions or resources to help bandage the wound that needs to heal.
