Cardinal at My Window: Surviving the Death of My Son and Finding Hope in His Messages from the Other Side

By Deborah Taylor Steward

Deborah Steward has lived through every parent's nightmare. In October 2010, she and her husband found their son Daniel dead of an apparent prescription drug overdose. Drowning in grief, unable to sleep or eat, she at first wishes only to follow Daniel out of this life. And then she hears from him. The first message comes in just days after his death, e-mailed to her by a clairaudient friend. As more messages follow, some conveyed through other friends and family members and some directly from Daniel to his parents, she begins to keep a detailed record of the signs and means of communication that her son employs to convince his family that he is still with them and that he wants to help them recover from this worst of all losses. Told by his mother, Cardinal at My Window is Daniel's story, from his early teenage years when signs of an anxiety disorder first surfaced to his last months when his mother began to suspect that what they had thought was anxiety might be something far worse. Her fear that he might be bipolar sent her on a search for help, but it was too late.While this is Daniel's story, it is also the story of his mother's journey from despair to a belief that death is not the end of the journey for her or her son.
