In Memory Of . . . . . (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781524600921)

In Memory Of ... was written to encourage people who have lost someone or something that was precious to them. Loss can come in many forms. You can suffer a loss with a move, an illness, a loved one passing, or even one's youth departing from them. Bonnie has found that old memories wash over her at times when she is doing something completely unrelated to the particular memory that passes through her mind. She sets out, at those times, to capture the feeling that attached itself to her. She thinks it is important to pay attention to those unexpected moments of inspirational thoughts. By putting those feelings down on paper, Bonnie can safely put that memory away and access it anytime she likes. The words in this book show how loss impacts us. We often feel alone when encountering a loss in our life. It is Bonnie's hope that this book will help to open a dialog during times of loss and grief. She has also shared her love of photography to aid in uplifting your spirits. When Bonnie was asked to share some poems with a Hospice group, she discovered that she had accumulated many poems over the last thirty years that addressed the loss of a friend, a place, or a loved one. Writing these poems was a way of dealing with those losses in her own life. As she found the poems, she realized that they could be of help to people during the grieving process. A gift of this book is a loving gesture to friends or loved ones during times of loss and grief. Proceeds from the sales of this book will be donated to Hospice.
