Patricia Evans

I am deeply saddened to hear of Patricia Evans´s passing. She was an incredible source of inspiration and a great help to me both personally and professionally. I frequently draw upon her books and materials, always recognizing and appreciating her dedicated efforts. Her work has touched and benefited so many, and her legacy will continue to inspire us all.

Heartfelt condolences to Patricia's family. I attended two of her retreats and she spent precious time via telephone - guiding me during a tough journey. She was a beautiful soul.

I am blessed to have met you. Thank you for your light and love.

Thank you for your contribution to society and helping people in situations they did not know how to escape. Ms. Evans made a difference in many people's lives she never met. She was a wonderful woman.

I'm just learning of the passing of Ms Evans. Please accept my sympathy to family and friends. There's no knowing for certain how many people Ms Evans saved by their reading her exceptional research and illumination of all bold and nuanced verbal and relational abuse. I am forever grateful for the books she wrote and for her and everything she stands for. RIP, Ms Evans. Thank you so very much!

May you Rest in peace. Thank you for all you have done to help others.

Finding Patricia's first book was life-changing. I felt as if she was directly talking to me and will be ever grateful. I also feel fortunate that I was able to meet her in person at a workshop. Her legacy will live on in ways that cannot be measured. May all who loved her be comforted by knowing that she contributed greatly to the betterment of the world.

I'm so sorry to hear about Patricia's passing. Yet I'm so grateful to have had phone conversations with her to assist me in realizing that I was completely normal and how to become safe. She was so kind and so knowledgeable Thank you Patricia .

I am sad to hear of Ms Evan's passing. Her book "The Verbally Abused Relationship" saved my life. I didn't realize how abused I was until I read her book. Thank you RIP Mrs Evans

I began reading Patricia's book The VAR one 5 years ago and finally finished it today! When I began to google her I saw her website and came to this page:( I am so sorry for the loss of such an amazing light to this world! I am truly thankful for her work and all the lives I know she has saved from darkness!!!

I was so sorry to learn Patricia had passed away. Her books, recommended by my therapist in the beginning of my journey, changed my life. I was also fortunate to attend one of her retreats in California several years ago - a truly life-changing experience. Thank you, Patricia, and thank you to the wonderful women on the forums.

Her first book literally jumped off the shelf at me. I had just left a VA marriage but still wasn't sure what had happened to me. It was like she had been in my living room, observing and recording. I also went to her Clarity workshop. It was so validating to meet with other women from all walks of life who had experienced the same thing as me. Her books saved my life! I have given them away and recommended them to so many women who needed to read them to obtain some CLARITY! Rest in peace now, you have helped so many.

She helped me figure out what was going on in my marriage. I remember talking to her on the phone while I hid in the closet. I wish I had told her how much she helped me.

Mrs. Evans, you put into words what I had no words for. I did not know, was naïve, what verbal abuse was, although I was living it. Thank you for helping me to move forward. The Evans family, my condolences for your loss.

I'm so sorry to read of her passing. Hers was THE first book I found on abuse. It changed my life. She helped so many and will continue to do so, thru her books. What a legacy! Thank you, Ms. Evans, for all you did for so many.

I was quite amazed when I found her books, so grateful, condolences to her family

She is the reason I recognized and called the abuse what it was. Finally had a name for what I was going through. So thankful, I am now out of that situation. So sorry for your loss.

I came across Patricia's first book in a bookshop about 20 years ago and stood there reading it, before buying it. It was the first clear, relatable and understanding information I had come across which explained the situation I was in. I've since shared that book and Patricia's wisdom with other women. She was a Godsend when I needed it. What a woman!!

I have been on her forum for years, and have found lifelong friendships and much healing there. Her book was the first I read when I had lost myself in a toxic relationship and needed to be heard. Thank you, Patricia. You helped so many.

This is such a loss to the world. I was privileged to meet Patricia in 2012. Her retreat helped me heal and get my smile back. She is such a lady with a huge heart of always being there for those in need.
