5 Stars~For Those Left Behind

This was a heart-wrenching book to read but I imagine helpful for those having experienced the same thing. I read this book in a single afternoon it was so compelling. I cannot fathom having to go through the loss of a child by their own hands, but this is what Jean Williams did. She was in the next room when she heard the gun shot, ran to her son's room and held him and felt the last beat of his heart.
 
Each chapter has scripture, the present day experiences, then Mrs. Williams's memories and a separate page where a mother reading God's Mercies after Suicide can write her own memories, her prayer of praise, and her own scripture of encouragement. There are even suggested reading materials in the back as well as grief sites.
 
This would be an excellent book for those families dealing with the loss of a family member.
I received this book free and was not required to write a review, positive or otherwise.

The Kindle version will be free on November 19th. Please spread the word. Thank you!

Until next time . . . let folks know about the book

5 Stars: Devotionals to Guide You to Hope After Terrible Loss

I approached this book with interest, as I have known the author for many years, via an online writing group we are both in. Not having experienced suicide in my family, I read the entire book in one sitting--not at all how it was meant to be read. By the time I finished the book, I was deeply touched by Jean's experience, and moved by her insites. In thinking it over, I would definitely recommend reading this book as it was intended, one day at a time, and in writing out your own "Mother Memories", "Prayer of Praise" and "Scripture of Encouragement"
 
While this book relates specifically to a parents loss of a child by suicide, there was much I identified with in the complex grief I experienced in losing my husband. It is written simply and honestly. Jean shares her very real struggles, and doesn't hide the pain of her loss. 

However, in sharing her memories and struggles, she encourages the reader to find hope despite the darkness that stole their loved one.
 
This book will help those working through the grief of suicide by encouraging you to cherish your precious memories, be thankful for what you did have, and recording the scriptures that you find encouraging. Such exercises are not always easy, but they bring healing, as you realize that despite your loss, your child remains precious to you.
