No parent is ever prepared to hear the devastating words that your child has died. Regardless of their age, the cause, or the circumstances, the heart of a mother is not equipped to handle those forever life-altering statements, nor the events that follow.
Kisses from Momma is a collection of letters to a mother's son, who died unexpectedly at the age of twenty-six. It is the heartfelt thoughts that pounded in her mind and heart day and night as she pondered how to do life in such an unknown world that she suddenly became a part of, with no warning. Sharing her thoughts in letters to her son seemed to bring some balance back into her life. Now she wants to share them with others who continue to struggle with the day-to-day issues of dealing with not having their child/children present in their lives.
Every parent who has survived and overcome the death of a child is a lifetime member of a club they never asked to be a part of. There is no rewind, no refusal, and no alterations to the inclusion of the club. As a born-again believer, this author chose to trust her Lord and Savior to help her not only survive the death of her beloved Toby but to be an overcomer of it. Her hope is that each reader, whether a mother, daddy, sibling, grandparent, friend, or any other survivor, each one will discover there is indeed a way to overcome the physical loss of a child. His name is Jesus Christ.
