"Running with the Angels" is the story of a mother’s sudden loss of her son; a loss that shattered her to the core of her being. Writing a book did not enter her mind as she worked through her intense grief. However words seemed to write themselves as the author studied, journaled, jotted notes on scrap paper, recorded her thoughts and feelings, wiped the tears off her face and documents, kept writing in a confused mixture of English, French and occasional swear words. Persisting through the mess, paragraphs appeared, some chapters lined up; a book took shape as the mother’s grief became reconciled and integrated over the years. Now it has evolved into a completed memoir. May this book serve as a survival guide and a source of hope for all bereaved mothers and fathers.
