Pam : Life Beyond Death; Joy Beyond Grief

By Christy Lowry

An anxious voice accosts a young mother as she picks up the phone. An elementary school secretary notifies her that her daughter Pam may have been in a serious accident. But why this call when Pam, a middle schooler, rides a public, not a school bus, home? Yet because this secretary takes the time to phone her, this mother responds to her suggestion to immediately call 911. Was the dispatcher awaiting her call?! His disconcertingly accurate questions, punctuated with progressively detailed and accurate information only she could know, lends credence to that impression. Initial relief that the victim, first described as someone far younger, dissipates before a parent's worst fear: has the unthinkable truly happened? To them? In PAM, a family miracle unfolds, unveiling a God Who actively and directly redeems--even uses--their loss for good. In the process, healing and restoration powerfully emerge to transform hopeless grief into inspired conviction that there is--indeed--Life Beyond Death, Joy Beyond Grief.

Pam

The book was very touching to both of us, we both have lost our mothers and can relate to the feeling of such a great loss. Anyone that has experianced the loss of a loved one would greatly benefit from reading this book. Christys writing will touch anyone who reads it and will help you understand what hurt people go threw during the loss of a loved one.

A great book for everyone.

This is a great book for anyone who has lost a loved one. It lets you know you are not alone in this world. It is very vivid in it's description of what the author felt and experienced.This is also a good book for everyone else. It's a heart felt description of what it is like to work through the grief process from some one who experienced it. The book reminded me of what is important in my life and to take time and enjoy it.

Portrait of a Mother Coping with Loss

This book is a truly honest portrait and personal account of a mother coping with the unthinkable and unimaginable, the death of her young daughter. It is not about how we should buck up and get on with our lives (but it will help); it is not about celebrating the blessing of having the priviledge of having had a child to love. It is about how a Christian woman and real life mom, not superwoman, can come to terms with the debilitating and inside-out world of unspeakable personal grief. An intensely personal book for anyone who understands that life is, indeed, intensely personal. Suffering and support, faith and love, combine in this modern day Mothers Book of Job. For anyone who needs to know that they are not alone, Christy offers an open heart and hand.

A Joy

What a wonderful book. Christy touched my heart in the detail of her work. It showed that you can move on and remember a loved one. Anyone dealing with a death of a child or loved one should read this. Actually anyone can read it and feel good.

Overcoming the anguish of loss

I defy anyone not to be profoundly moved by this honest, sensitive, and eloquent tale of the anguish of loss and the power of faith to carry one family through the terrible ordeal of losing a treasured daughter and sister. I was impressed by the coping skills discovered through faith, and through the involvement of caring family and friends. This book should be a help to anyone going through a similar experience.
