Everyone experiences loss in life, whether it is the death of a loved one or a broken relationship.   In the aftermath of a significant loss, the road ahead is overwhelming and day to day life feels like an unachievable step toward a far and ambiguous peak.   in those moments that lay ahead your support system is crucial.  No one would climb Mount Everest without a rope, an ice axe, the proper attire and/or oxygen.  And you will need oxygen because the higher you climb the more your body craves what is necessary to survive so an available supply is critical.  The book will help you to find your own pace and rhythm and to understand the universal truths regarding the most devastating pain a human is asked to endure.

      The book "Broken but not Alone" is in simple terms a guide for grief and in broader terms an exploration of the way in which we navigate life after losing someone we deeply love.  Words can indeed be a comfort as you sit with this book and come to realize that although grief isolates us we are not alone.  The book may offer solace and help you to navigate the torrid emotions that overwhelm you and turn your world into chaos.  Written from the perspective of a mother whose son died, this book paraphrases the emotional roller coasters and events that define your new life.   One story is everyone' story.  The book includes well researched mourning rituals that offer comfort to some and for others a different perspective.  

       The author delves into the notion of spiritual "justice" in the wake of loss.  This fascinating journey/argument will help you to exorcise the norms which we sometimes follow without thought.   Instead you are invited to ask yourself questions which may offer hope and comfort for your long journey, and the biggest question in your life,,,why did my child die?
