Life After The Death of Our Child Terrie Oxtal

Terrie and Doug Oxtal gave their lives to a dream. After over 35 years of marriage the result of their devotion to four children and each other, life was perfect until the day they left the hospital with only their youngest son Andrew's jacket. The unspeakable grief that took over their lives is captured in letters written to Andrew where the love spills on to every page. The journey is there, the love is there, the sense of loss is there between the lines of shock and pain, with a true understanding of compassion. The Oxtal family knows Andrew has gone home, and they live with him in their hearts, until they meet again. For those who have suffered the loss of a child, this mother's letters will take you to a place so familiar they won't make you feel alone. For those who have not lost a child, this book will take you to a place where love is all that matters.
