About the Book

After her twenty-year-old daughter dies in an automobile accident the author finds herself on a journey of grief that, until then, she could not even imagine. As she travels down this path, that has been determined for her, she learns about death and its effect on her life and the lives of others she loves. This is a story about learning to grow and cope despite great loss. It’s also about opening the heart and mind to possibilities for healing and growth. Tools to understand the process and deal with the tragedy of loss are offered for the grieving and their loved ones. This is not a story about death. It’s about trying to understand death, and how it affects our lives. It’s about a journey that no parent chooses to take. It’s about learning to live life to its fullest while searching for Peace.
