My name is Donna. I used to work with your Mom at Midland Memorial many moons ago. I just received your book today. And I have already read it. What an awesome testimony! I will say that there were some similarities between her losing Brayden and how I felt when my husband, David, killed himself. I went thru those stages of grief many times. I too was angry with God. I wondered why I didn't see what was about to happen and what could I have done to prevent it. It will be 30 years next March 13th. But there are still things that catch me by surprise - even though I have been happily married to Steve for 25 years I still think of David often. How he missed seeing Chris grow up, get married and have a family of his own. But I did realize there was nothing I did wrong, nothing I could have done to prevent it. And life has moved on. Steve lost his wife to breast cancer. Neither one of us has a problem mentioning their names. Life does move on but we never forget! I have a few friends who have lost a child - either as a stillborn, an infant, or a teenager with renal cancer. I am going to recommend this book to them. I might even buy a few copies and share them with them. You are a very courageous woman for baring your soul and sharing your story. Brayden is proud of you!
Thank you Donna for the support and the beautiful message. I am so glad to know that this was a blessing to you as well. Thank you for sharing your story, it is also very courageous of you. Sending love and blessings. Prayerfully healing can begin for all types of loss. Love, Kindra.
