Letters From My Mom, Long Since Gone: Death, Grief... And Healing (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781647733568)

Mary Grace joyfully awaits the birth of her twin baby girls. Upon receiving a phone call from her dad and after entering the hospital emergency room, she learns her mom has been in a fatal car accident. Grief slowly penetrates her heart. Dealing with the funeral and having survived a difficult pregnancy, she experiences the stages of grief along with post-partum depression. While reminiscing on good memories collected in her hope chest, Mary Grace discovers unopened letters from her mom. She anticipates reading the letters, which contain her mom's most intimate thoughts. As she reads through each letter, she hears her mom's voice, and her mind is filled with hope - her heart, with love. She begins to see her life transform from a daughter into a mother - like seeds of faith growing into a white rose in full bloom.
