When five-year-old Sam was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumour, his mothers’ world changed forever. What followed was a journey no parent should ever have to take. It was a journey filled with heartbreak and hope, courage and despair, and an unforgettable goodbye. Yet this is not simply a story of loss. It is a story about an extraordinary love that continues to live on.
 
With remarkable honesty and tenderness, Jackie Tarabay invites readers into the most intimate moments of her family’s harrowing journey. Jackie shares not only the devastating reality of losing a child but also the unexpected gifts that grief can teach us about finding meaning in our suffering.
 
Drawing on her personal experience and the insights she has gained as a grief counsellor, Jackie offers solace to those experiencing profound loss. She gently reminds us that grief is not something to be conquered or left behind. It is something we learn to nurture, carry and hold close to our hearts.
