"Facing the tragedy of losing my beautiful 21-year old daughter, Cassie, at age 49, was the hardest thing I have ever experienced in my otherwise normal life. Writing this book was the second hardest, and one inevitably led to the other. I wrote this book for and about my daughter because I love her. It is as simple as that. I miss her in the flesh and want to share her amazing self with the world. I hope that through Cassie's story, you will be curious, joyfully surprised, and totally empowered to seek out that which is never understood and always incredibly painful in this world...the loss of someone you love, especially the devastational loss of a child. It is up to each of us to make a choice, to seek out those places in our own creative and heart-centered selves that will assist and support us on the path of healing. Come join us. Cassie and I promise to be with you every step of the way with blessings.
