Thank you, Abbie, for your review of my memoir Mourning Has Broken. I so very much appreciate it. For more on Abbie just click on her links below. 🙂
Mourning Has Broken
Copyright 2013.
The loss of her parents and sister inspired author and blogger Carol Balawyder to write the essays in this collection. She writes about her relationship with the loved ones she lost. Other pieces focus on such topics as travel, online dating, religion, and, of course, mourning.
Having lost my parents, grandparents, and husband, I can identify with the feelings the author expresses, especially the guilt at not having done more for her loved ones before they passed. If you are grieving and have similar feelings, this book should help you understand you’re not alone. If you’re suffering from a recent loss, be sure you have plenty of Kleenex handy when you read it.

13 is really young to confront loss of that magnitude. It must have been a very sad and difficult time for you to go through. Still, we must appreciate those who are still around.

Carol, a beautiful and true review of your book – one that meant a lot to me whilst suffering from sadness and loss. Abbie is right about keeping the tissues to hand! The book opens emotions that one often pushes away in the midst of grief.

What a lovely review. That sadness, loss, I don’t know how I’d get through it. I can see where your insights would be comforting.

Even after ten years there is still the emptiness and sense of loss. Pain and loss are powerful motivators. Writing for me was a way to express my grief. Thanks for being here, Jacqui.
