5.0 out of 5 stars book of poetry about loss, recovery and remembrance, September 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Stars In The Deepest Night: After the Death of a Child (Paperback)

this is a book of poetry written by a mother who lost a teenage child in a tragic accident.

the book is about loss, remembrance, sharing, support, understanding, compassion and recovery.......most of all the book is about love --- a mother's love for her child now gone, her love for her spouse and the child still here, and the love of her friends - both silent and vocal, physically present and distant.

touching, tearful, vibrant and thought provoking

5.0 out of 5 stars A Mother's Loss and Recovery, May 18, 2001

This review is from: Stars In The Deepest Night: After the Death of a Child (Paperback)

A very dear friend of mine purchased this book for me after the car accident that took the life of my 19 year old daughter, Amy. The poems in this book were exactely the feelings that I was experiencing. This mother put into words for me what I could not. I read the poems in this book everyday and they give me courage to know that even in the darkest hour there is hope. I would recommend this book to anyone who has suffered the sudden, tragic loss of a loved one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Poetry written by a bereaved mother, March 13, 2002

This review is from: Stars In The Deepest Night: After the Death of a Child (Paperback)

Genesse's poetry is written for the love and in memory of her daughter Lori who passed away in a tragic accident. I too am a bereaved parent, who went on Amazon to find books to read. Not only did the poetry help me, I felt I knew Genesse (she feels everything I do). I bought the first copy for myself and then ordered many more to give to friends and relatives to help them understand what I was feeling. Genesse writes so pure and with so much love.
