My Mother’s Hands, My Son’s Eyes: Still Standing

My Mother’s Hands, My Son’s Eyes is a soul-baring journey of loss, love, and unshakable faith. Told through the eyes of a woman who has endured the unimaginable-the loss of her beloved mother and her 3rd son-this powerful narrative chronicles the sacred tension between heartbreak and healing. With raw honesty and poetic reflection, the author invites readers into the private spaces of grief, where a mother’s hands once nurtured and a son’s eyes once held light.
