“Few things are worse . . . than losing a child. Your story, your experience, is a gift to others.” - Gerald (Jerry) L. Sittser, Award-winning and Best-selling Author (A Grace Disguised: How the Soul Grows Through Loss)

“Raw, anguished, extraordinary. If you have ever experienced loss or know someone who has, read this book!” - Mary-Ann Kirkby, Award-winning and Best-selling Author (I Am Hutterite)

“...I am so drawn in by your story ... your loss has become my own.” - Deb Watson, Author (Kiss Goodbye)

“I love your book. ...I’ve been trained as a grief counsellor and this is one of the best things I’ve read. Your book brought home, to me, something I've never really understood. I lost my mother, my sister, and my father, pretty much in rapid succession. I don't think I ever really grieved for them. Your book helps me do that... Of course, those of us who have taken ‘Pastoral Counselling’ have studied Elisabeth Kübler-Ross and her 5 stages of Grief related to death and dying. What makes your work different and more accessible than Kübler-Ross' work is that you wore your grief on your sleeve. In doing that you drew me into your pain. Once there, I saw that your pain was also mine. I am able to grieve my own losses. Thank you …" - Rev. Douglas Giles, BA, MA, MDiv., STS

"Thank you for writing this deeply personal account of the path you travelled, the deep caverns of hopelessness and the light at the end of the tunnel. I found the book riveting and was unable to put it down until my eyes were so sore, that I could not read any more. It will be a source of great strength to others who experience a similar tragedy in their lives, and find it so difficult to return to a life of hope. I saw the pain in my own mother who lost a child long before I was born, and her inner self never completely lost the pain of her loss. I feel she would have benefitted from talking to someone like you, or been able to read a book like this to help her understand her pain and have it validated. I am so glad that you have found peace again, and that God has used you in this powerful way to describe in such a poignant fashion, that which is unthinkable and indescribable." - M.F., Mother of four, and Grandmother

“...captivating... Once I started ... I had a very hard time going for a break. My heart goes out to you, as you have had to live this nightmare. God has surely been on this horrendous journey with you...” - B.T., Avid Reader and Mother of two

“...very moving. The words took me on a rollercoaster ride of emotions ... you are a very brave person to go through hell and back and be able to and willing to revamp memories. ...a very good and interesting author.” - J.H., Poet and Father of two
