Are you feeling hopeless because you have lost a child? Or is it someone else close to you who has died? Someone you loved? A spouse, a parent, a sibling, a partner, a grandchild? Do you wish someone else could understand your loss? Do you feel hurt about how some family members have responded? If you answer yes to any of these questions then When Every Day Matters is the book for you.
Loss and the grief journey is so painful and lonely. Even other losses hit our sense of who we are like a devastating diagnosis, a divorce, the loss of our dreams, the catastrophic loss of our home or our livelihood. If our child is taken from this world by accident, natural disaster, illness, violence, a drunk driver, suicide or war? On that day only Grace gets us out of bed.
In my memoir, When Every Day Matters: A Mother’s Memoir s uon Love, Loss and Life, I write intimately to my beloved daughter, Katie Brant, who was formidable, courageous, wise and hysterically funny. For 10 years Katie lived with a brain tumor. And while she left her earthly life at 28 years of age she accomplished a hundred lifetimes of good.
My memoir is deeply spiritual and psychological. By profession I am a psychotherapist and grief specialist for 37 years. In my book I write candidly about the family of origin issues that will predictably erupt during difficult times of loss which the reader can use as a guidepost for managing their own relationships. In When Every Day Matters I take the reader by the hand as a companion into my personal journey because we need to feel we are not alone when we are suffering.
We all know that after a devastating loss the journey to recovery is a lonely one. Now you don’t have to take it alone. My message, reflections and guidance in When Every Day Matters will comfort your heart and soul, your body and your mind. Sarah Ban Breathnach, publisher of When Every Day Matters and the best seller author of Simple Abundance believes When Every Day Matters will become the classic book on the grief journey. Sarah believes when you close this book you will find the strength of discovering hope again and thinking, "If MJ can do it, I can do it."
