1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Tremendous resource in understanding the grieving process By Valerie Caraotta This read does not boast of a "Silver lining" or a "resolution "theme. Rather, it is real, it is raw, and it depicts the heart of a grieving mother following the death of her 20-year-old son Andrew. August 12, 2013 will be a date never forgotten. Her answer to a police officer at 5:45 AM would reveal his death the previous night incurred by a speeding 18 wheeler that would kill five of six people from the 2013 musical Texas. Blog pages that fallow would be turned into this book following suggestions of friends. "The following pages contain my posts, thoughts, and essays just as I wrote them… My prayer is that my words honor my family, glorify my Lord, and help those who are grieving begin to heal. I pray also that my words help those who love those who grieve."As a reader absorbs Kathleen Duncan's chronological posts they will gain the feel of the grieving process a parent goes through and how God's mercy intervenes. Frequent, uncontrollable tears will pour out initially and the first year without Andrew on the holidays are described. "I am so wishing Andrew was on his way home for Thanksgiving today… Many Americans are thinking less than two weeks until Christmas! I am sitting here thinking, he would've been 21 in 12 days… We hosted our annual Christmas Eve Open House. I was able to hold it together until after folks left. I sobbed myself to sleep. " so frequently drawing on the strength of God's word, and knowing He is good and able, here is a reflection after six months. "I don't want to do lunch or chat on the phone with friends. I want to be at home – peaceful and quiet. Today started as a time to cry kind of day. But counting blessings turned it to a work and clean kind of day."To help reduce the sting of the 12th day of each month she would begin making a list of at least a dozen things she is grateful for. The realities of pain and suffering or inescapable. One year following – "The pictures of Andrew's friends heading back to class… I choose to stay off Facebook today, the first day back to school. " Yet, through her pain she extends comfort to others going through the grieving process. "There is only one healthy way to deal with our issues during our grief: we must continue to trust in our Creator and our Savior. We must ask the Holy Spirit for wisdom and guidance and comfort. We must continue to walk a path of faith and grace. "As I traced her life two years following Andrew's death many helpful strategies were provided along the way including the following:– Marie's parents honest and vulnerable wishes– What parents with a baby in heaven want you to know(but may not say)– Scriptures to pray for your grieving friends– What not to say to a grieving family– What teen siblings need in their time of grief– Tools to use if fear, anxiety and/or panic attacks developDiscover what exactly recovery will mean. Never a recovery back to normal. Acceptance and mourning taking on new dimensions. I feel every adult should read this book to better understand the "do's" and "don'ts" when dealing with those in grief. It is a resource full book far greater than psychology books on death and dying. Duncan's heart did not lie and offer the best strategies around. I salute her bravery and honesty and know this work will benefit many.

This book shows how she and Ron walk in the reality that God is real and His love can carry us through even the darkest hours and most heart-wrenching anguish.This book is genuine and full of hope.Thank you for taking the time to write it.
