Linda Olarin

I was a fun-loving grandmother who went out of my way to create wonderful memories for my grandchildren. Unfortunately, I suffered a debilitating health crisis and I had to move in with my daughter until I could get back on my feet. I was thrilled when I was finally able to regain my independence and move into a high rise apartment in busy downtown Royal Oak, Michigan. I was beginning to feel like my old self again when the unthinkable happened. I was too embarrassed to tell anyone because it was so disturbing that I thought that nobody would believe me. I felt totally alone and I was in my own private hell. I was terrified that my nightmare would never end. I knew that if someone very close to me told me this same story that I would feel confused and helpless about what to say or how to get them help.

I was a fun-loving grandmother who would go out of my way to create wonderful memories and adventures for my grandchildren. Unfortunately, I suffered a very unexpected debilitating health crisis, and it took me a while to get back on my feet. I was thrilled when I was finally able to regain my independence and move into a new apartment. I was beginning to feel like my old self again until one fateful night when the unthinkable happened. I was too embarrassed to tell anyone because I was afraid that nobody would believe me. I felt totally alone and I was in my own private hell. I was terrified that my nightmare would never end. I knew that if someone very close to me told me this same story, I would feel confused and helpless about what to say or how to get them help. It was just one of those secrets that nobody would be able to keep. They would have to tell someone because if they didn’t, something terrible could happen and someone could get seriously hurt or even worse. My secret was revealed late one night in the most humiliating way that I could have ever imagined. Every word of this unbelievable story is true, and I write about it in vivid detail because that is exactly how I remember it. The undying help and support from my children inspired me to share my story. I wanted to let other people who have gone through this know that they are not alone.

My name is Linda Olarin. I live in Royal Oak, Michigan. I have five children and ten amazing grandchildren who teach me to see the beauty, the humor and the joy in the little things in life every day. I am an avid music lover and I love to cook. I am passionate about genealogy and I volunteer my time to help others learn about their family heritage. I am the author of two books. My first book "HELLucinate" made Amazon's best survivor memoir list. It is an absolutely unbelievable story about something horrifying that happened to me and that I still struggle with. Many people have never heard about this before because people who have gone through don't like to talk about it. My favorite book review said, "Somebody needs to call Kathy Bates and let her know this is her next best selling movie! My mind is blown". I didn't want to just be remembered for something so horrible that happened to me. I wrote "A Grandmother's Prayer". It is about my wonderful relationship with my oldest grandson until he became a young man. I talk about the fears and worries, as well as the joy, of being a grandmother. It is a very heartfelt story that has beautiful illustrations. It is listed as a children's book, but I think that every grandparent would love this book. It also makes a wonderful baby shower gift. P.S. If anybody knows Kathy Bates give her a call or have her contact me. (wishful thinking)
