3. Why did you write this book?
Writing this book was cathartic for me. I needed to let out my emotions in a productive way.
4. How did you start writing this book?
It started out as a hand written memoir but I couldn’t get the words on paper fast enough. I bought my first computer so that I could put the words on paper in way that was quicker for me.
5. What helped you to heal?
My husband, family, a support group, Resurrection Lutheran Church (ECLU), writing, friends, Jesus, and angels sent by God.
6. What kind of writing style did you use?
I wrote in a time-line format. Part one is from when I found out I was pregnant with Mitchell, his life and his death. Part two focuses on the morning after his death until the fall of 2006.
7. Why did you choose a time-line format?
I wanted readers to know how long it can take to become whole and that the grief doesn’t end but it changes. This book is a love story about a beautiful child.
