If you're reading this, something has broken.

Maybe it shattered all at once—a death, a betrayal, a loss so complete you don't know how you're still breathing. Maybe it has been breaking slowly, piece by piece, until one day you realize your entire life has collapsed.

Either way, you're here. And you're looking for something—anything—to hold onto. This book is that something.

Still Here is not written from the safety of having overcome. It was written in the middle of the fire—seven months after the author's husband died, while fighting legal battles to keep her home, locked out of his grave by family betrayal, raising her thirteen-year-old daughter alone, and facing financial crisis.

This is a survival manual for impossible days. For 3 a.m. when you can't sleep. For parking lots when you're crying before going inside. For bathrooms at work when you need five minutes to fall apart. For the moment when you think you can't survive another second.

Inside, you'll find short chapters you can read when you can barely focus, practices you can do in ten minutes when ten minutes is all you have, and "Words to Return To" you can screenshot and read when you forget who you are.

This book tells the truth: Crisis is devastating. Loss is real. Betrayal cuts deep. Some things can't be fixed. Some pain doesn't go away.

And yet—you can survive anyway. Not by overcoming it. But by learning to live while it's happening.

Written by Sandra F. Lasike—widow, mother, legal advocate, founder of JudLaw and NetX Pacific—Still Here is for anyone who has been told to "be strong" when they are already breaking. For those facing grief, betrayal, financial ruin, family rejection, or legal battles they never wanted. For anyone who feels like giving up but is still here.

If you are still breathing, still trying, still showing up for life, this book is for you. You are more than your crisis. You are consciousness experiencing it. And consciousness is indestructible.

Keep this book close. Return to it when you forget. You are still here. And that changes everything.
