For those who have ever experienced the untimely loss of a loved one, in particular the death of a child, get this book. It is personal, thought-provoking, well-written, and very easy to understand. I am certain you will find comfort in the four very personal stories of a journey through grief to regaining a purpose to life.

Four mothers share a very personal story of the pain, confusion and destabilization experienced by the loss of a child. I think this book will be helpfull to bereaved parents and friends that want to understand them.

As a mother of a child who has passed I have enjoyed this book. Anne D and her friends write a wonderful book on how they have learned many things. HOw much pain they have felt. I think it is wonderful how they have written a book to help others who have lost children. This book was very helpful to me to understand that I am not the only one. I appreicate the four ladies who wrote it. Anne D thank you for being a friend and for the million tears we have shared.

I had the pleasure of meeting the four authors at a discussion/signing. They each spoke about their tragic loss and also shared the joy they were afforded during the few years they had with each of their sons. I read the book without missing a word and each mother told their story with compassion, honesty and dignity. I recommend this book be read by everyone, not only those who have had to bear the sorrow of losing a child, but for all because we are all potential victims, 'there go I but for the grace of God'. Jane, Yvonne, Deb and Anne, thank you for sharing your sorrow, as well as the joy your sons have left with you and your families, and your courage has been an inspiration for all. I for one came away with a different point of view. Every Step of the Way is most definetly a 'labor of love'.
