Brain Aneurysm Foundation

I'm fundraising for the Brain Aneurysm Foundation! 

At twenty-seven years old, Erin Dohan’s life was suddenly split in two; life before the ruptured brain aneurysm and life after. I Think I’m Ready to Talk is the harrowing, yet unexpectedly hopeful, memoir of a young woman who survived when the odds were very much against her. 

What followed was years of fighting through one medical event after another; miscarriages, emergency abortion, a complicated pregnancy, painful postpartum and ultimately the loss of both ovaries. Erin spent those years slowly navigating the medical system that often dismisses women’s pain. 

With unflinching honesty and moments of dark humour, Erin explores what it means to rebuild a life while fighting against her body, the constant ongoing pain, in a world that expects women to quietly endure and quickly bounce back. This is not just a story of survival. This is a story about reclaiming one's voice, control and the courage to finally talk when so many others suffer in silence.
