Beyond Tears-Living after Losing a Child Book Review

bookshelf beyond tears

This book was incredibly insightful and full of understandable raw emotion.  These nine mothers share themselves and their story of moving thru grief and forward after their children went to Heaven (teenage to young adult).  The courage these women walk with after such deep suffering is a true testament to the Human Spirit.  They offer practical advice on coping, healing and dealing with Holidays, Birthdays, Anniversaries, new babies, their other children, marital intimacies, etc. 

This is a revised edition with chapters from “the fathers” and “the siblings” , they offer a much needed glimpse into how “Passings” of young family members truly effects each member of the family unit differently and in a unique ways.

A poem written by Barbara Goldstein resonated so much for me, It emplifies the spirit of why I created this company and the Brand,” Still Celebrating You”.  My brother’s Life is the flame that ignited my passion to CELEBRATE him fully and to live my life in service of helping fellow souls, do the same for their Angels.  I know if enough people are reminded that their Angels are always “on their shoulder”, and Still part of their Life, we can all collectively Heal and make peace with the process of Life.

To Howard on his 24th Birthday
I am the keeper of the flame
When others hesitate to…
I say your name.
I am the teller of the tale
Words spoken calmly
While inside I wail
My tears are a stream in which memories swim
While I have breath
Your light will not dim.
For some it is hard to speak of you
For me, it is hard NOT to.
I am the keeper of the flame
I never hesitate to say your name.
Barbara Goldstein
