Charley's Light: A True Story of Love and Loss
This is not a story about an ending. It is a story about what remains.
Charley was born with Trisomy 18 - Edwards' Syndrome - and her family were given little hope for her future.
But Charley had other ideas.
She lived for twenty extraordinary years, touching lives, challenging expectations and teaching those around her that a life cannot be measured by a diagnosis, a prognosis or the number of years we are given.
Charley's Light is her mother Jacqueline Lowrie's deeply personal story of love, courage, grief and the extraordinary bond between a mother and her daughter.
It is also the story of what happens when the person you love more than anything in the world is no longer physically beside you - and how, somehow, their love continues to shape your life.
Jacqueline writes openly about the joy, the battles, the laughter, the heartbreak and the lessons Charley brought into her world.
This book is for parents, carers, bereaved families and anyone who has ever loved someone so deeply that losing them changed everything.
It is a reminder that a short prognosis does not define a life.
That grief and love can exist side by side.
And that some lights never go out.
They expand.
Charley's story deserves to be known. This is her light.
