In her memoir and survivor’s guide, Kleier tells the story of her multiple battles with sepsis, two times in septic shock, and one experience on a ventilator. Sepsis Warrior offers practical advice and emotional support for survivors, caregivers, and healthcare professionals dealing with the challenges that follow sepsis.
Each year, sepsis impacts millions of people around the world. Many survivors continue to struggle with physical, mental, and emotional issues after leaving the hospital. Kleier’s book tackles these challenges directly, explaining Post-Sepsis Syndrome, the ICU experience, recovery steps, and why better education is needed for both the public and healthcare workers.
“This book is for every survivor who feels alone after leaving the hospital,” says Kleier. “You survived. Now it’s time to reclaim your life, your voice, and your purpose.”
Inside the book, readers will find:
- Easy-to-understand explanations of sepsis stages and important warning signs
- Real stories about ICU trauma and what long-term recovery looks like
- Advice for dealing with Post-Sepsis Syndrome
- Support and encouragement for families helping loved ones recover
- Inspiration to get involved in advocacy and community support
The book includes a foreword by Megan Jones, Director of Community Education and Support at Sepsis Alliance. It also shows why survivor-led education and teamwork between patients and healthcare providers matter.
