Raw, Heartbreaking, and Inspirational

This book is a must for anyone that is dealing with the sudden death of a loved one. The author shares her own tragic experience in a very honest and candid manner. At times it can be as personal as reading a friend's diary. Janis Ost Ford lost her family in a well-publicized plane crash and that seems to be all that the public cares about. During the days following the crash various newspapers, local television and even CNN interviewed her. However, that was only the start of her journey with grief. There is a day-to-day life after a tragedy that none of us are told about. How do you manage to go back to work? Celebrate your first Mother's Day without a mother? Bring life back into this world after it was so viciously taken away from you? The author talks about her experiences and offers advice on things that were helpful and things that weren't. Anyone that has ever lost someone knows that it is impossible to ever be the same. With the help of this book perhaps it can get you to realize that someone else has made it through those unbearable days. A quarter of the proceeds from this book go to NADA (National Air Disaster Alliance) both the author and the organization are committed to making planes safer so no one else has to die this horrific death.
