Grieve: Loss of a Child (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798199857284)

There are some phone calls that divide your life into before and after. Before that day, Mary Kelley was a mother planning tomorrow. After that day, she became a mother learning how to survive unimaginable pain.

When Mary lost her fifteen-year-old daughter, Emily, in a sudden and tragic car accident, her entire world shattered. In the dark, breathless aftermath of child loss, she discovered that grief doesn't just break your heart-it changes every part of who you are. This book is not about "getting over" loss, because a parent never truly gets over losing their child. Instead, it is a raw, unflinching guide to moving forward while carrying them with you.

Grieve: Loss of a Child takes readers through the exact, heartbreaking reality of deep trauma, the struggle to breathe again, and the endless "what ifs" that haunt a grieving mind. It is a story of survival, of a mother refusing to let the world forget her daughter, and of finding the strength to keep living when you feel like giving up.

If you are drowning in the aftermath of loss, Mary's words will throw you a lifeline. She proves that while grief changes us forever, it is only because love remains.
