It’s Over Now
By Karrine Watson
A Memoir of Pain, Power, and the Will to Rise
What do you do when life keeps knocking you down — over and over again?
You break.
You bend.
And then, you rise.
It’s Over Now is my raw, unfiltered story of survival.
Not a sob story. Not a highlight reel. Not written for sympathy — but for anyone who’s ever whispered, “Why me?” and kept going anyway.
It’s for the ones who had to rebuild from nothing.
The ones still standing, even if they’re standing in the ruins.
And the ones who’ve realized: no one is coming to save you — you save yourself.
What’s Inside These Pages
In these pages, I open up about:
This isn’t just a story.
It’s my truth — raw, unfiltered, and lived.
In these pages, I open up about being abandoned by my mother when I was just a baby, and being raised by the woman who became my everything — my great-grandmother, my queen. She taught me love, strength, and resilience. She gave me my foundation. And when she hid her illness from me, then called 999 for the last time, I stayed by her side until her final breath.
That day, I lost the only family I had — until I built my own.
I speak about surviving an abusive marriage, and the friend who helped me escape — me and my baby girl.
About losing my daughter for 13 long months, only allowed to see her three times a week in supervised contact centres, treated like a criminal when I was just a mother trying to hold on.
I speak about the fear of losing my newborn daughter too — unannounced visits, legal threats, and the unshakable fear that she would be taken from me too.
I share how I survived death — twice.
The second time, I woke from a coma, deaf in my right ear, unable to walk. It took over eight months to learn how to stand again. To move. To live.
There were moments I wanted to give up. Moments when I didn’t know how I’d survive another day.
But I didn’t just survive — I rose.
I turned pain into purpose.
I started my own business.
I found my voice.
And I now walk beside others through their healing, too.
This is more than a memoir.
It’s proof that even after everything… you can still rise.
