WRECKED: SURVIVING MY SON'S DEATH: YEAR ONE

On a rainy December night, my world turned upside down. My son was in an automobile accident. When he died, a part of me died with him. I share with you my lament. My ode. My legacy. This is my heart you are holding in your hands. It's bloody and raw and broken; but somehow, it's still ticking. Somehow, I have survived the inconceivable. I am no grief guru, professional counselor, or healer. I am a Mama who lost a child. One who knows this pain and understands this sorrow. I love my son intensely and I grieve his death deeply, so this will get vulnerable, intimate, messy, and/or ugly at times. But I'm hoping it will also be a soothing, healing salve that comforts your wounded soul. This book is my grief experience; my version and my explanation, as best I can recollect, of the feelings and events of the night my precious son, Max, died - the night my life was wrecked - and the year that followed.
