Beyond Life's Storms: A Journey Towards Healing (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781418401672)

Beyond Life's Storms is a powerful account of a mother's loss and subsequent healing journey. Part one eloquently expresses the grief Isabel Cuerrier endures when her 16 year-old daughter is killed in a car accident only days before playing the role of Anybodies in her high school's production of West Side Story. Part two shows us the resilience of the human spirit as Isabel recounts her struggles to heal from one of life's greatest tragedies, the death of one's child. While wading through the depths of pain and loneliness, more tragedies strike, making her healing journey even more difficult. In the space of less than three years, other deaths of family members follow, including the murder of the last of her surviving sisters and the torching of her last sibling. At one point during her battle to survive, when she can no longer go on, she loses her waning grasp on life and tumbles into an abysmal pit. It is only through the hands of Providence that she surfaces again. Later, a car accident of her own, nearly three years following her daughter's death, gives her precious gifts. Throughout most of her journey, Isabel finds strength and solace in her beliefs and various coping strategies. She also is gifted with many spiritual experiences, including miracles and visitations from her daughter, who has become her angel. For anyone seeking encouragement or inspiration, this is a must-read book.
