Light in the Darkness: A mother's personal journal after the death of her son

By Julie Bergstrom

I am a positive person, something I didn't really see about myself until I looked back at my journals a year or so after my son died. I saw a pattern of positivity in myself even on my worst days, and decided that I wanted others to see this and know it is possible. I didn't shrivel up and die, like I thought I would, like I wanted to many, many days. I didn't let this horrible event take me down with it and that, is a very big deal.As grieving parents we are trying to make sense of a senseless situation, we crave words to validate the emotions we are feeling, we need to know we are not alone or crazy in our thoughts. We want someone or something to show us it is possible to make it through this nightmare. This book is honest and raw with emotion, it is an extremely personal look into a tragic year in a parent's life, my life. But along with its sadness, it is an offering of Hope, to anyone who reads it. It is a story of resilience, faith, and courage, an example of the spirit of God that is within us all.
