The story of

Sharlay Thosen

Born and raised in South Carolina’s Low Country, Dr. Sharlay Thosen is a certified Trauma-Informed Healing & Resilience Practitioner with a passion for empowering others.

With a background in healthcare and business, she brings over a decade of entrepreneurial experience to her mission of fostering healing through storytelling and community support.

A Story of Family, Secrets, and Strength across Generations

The Weight of Generations is a moving story about family, pain, and healing. As Clara goes through old boxes, photos, and journals in her grandmother’s attic, she learns about the hard and painful past of the women in her family. These women faced abuse, silence, and betrayal but they also showed great strength, love, and courage.

This book is about how pain can be passed down from one generation to the next, and how it takes strength to break that cycle. It shows that even in the darkest moments, healing is possible.

What I loved most about this book is that it doesn’t try to fix everything with a happy ending. It’s real. It shows how healing takes time, and how just knowing the truth can be the first step.

This story hurts in all the right places. Finally, someone talked about the kind of family trauma people carry for years but never know how to share.

This book made me cry, but it also gave me hope. I saw myself in Clara’s story. I have felt that same quiet pain, the kind you carry for years but never say out loud. Everyone should read this especially daughters, mothers, and anyone trying to make peace with where they come from.
