I started writing my feelings early in the morning after my daughter's death, not knowing or imagining what our future would be. I know many families suffer tragedies. I decided to finish this book after 10,220 days from my daughter's death and more future tragedies in order to help families and individuals with sufferings in their lives. They say that after the loss of a child, 75 percent of marriages end up in divorce. I hope from this book, people will see the root cause and the remedy for their future. I also wrote it to show people that God is the same today, tomorrow, and in the future. We tend to lose track of ourselves after unimaginable losses. This book took rivers of tears and didn't come together without the lessons that were taught to me and remembered from my deceased children. This journey took me through my shattered faith and the road back. I hope people will read and understand that a shattered heart and mind can be healed to a degree that they will not forget the past but are able to find a brighter future.

In 1993, Sheila Rauch Kennedy received a letter from the Boston Catholic Archdiocese announcing that her former husband, Congressman Joseph Kennedy, was seeking an annulment of their marriage. If the Church granted the annulment, the marriage, which had lasted twelve years, would be rendered nonexistent -- not simply ended, as was stated in the divorce decree, but invalid from the start. And their two sons would be regarded as children of an unsanctified union. Joseph Kennedy needed the annulment to remarry within the Church, and he encouraged his ex-wife to ignore the details. Stunned by the hypocrisy of the process and the betrayal of trust it involved, Sheila Rauch Kennedy was determined to defend the legitimacy of her former marriage. Shattered Faith is the fascinating chronicle of that struggle, and of what Kennedy uncovered about the uses and frequency of annulments in the United States. Interweaving her own experiences with those of other women whose trust in the Church was shattered by annulment, she tells a story that will surprise, anger, and move readers of every faith.

Find beauty and hope by facing and dealing with the messiness of family life. The family is an imperfect institution. Broken people become broken parents who make broken families. But actually, broken is normal and exactly where God wants us. In The Beauty of Broken, Elisa Morgan, one of today’s most respected female Christian leaders, for the first time shares her very personal story of brokenness—from her first family of origin to the second, represented by her husband and two grown children. Over the years, Elisa’s family struggled privately with issues many parents must face, including: alcoholism and drug addiction infertility and adoption teen pregnancy and abortion divorce, homosexuality, and death Each story layers onto the next to reveal the brokenness that comes into our lives without invitation. “We’ve bought into the myth of the perfect family,” says Elisa. “Formulaic promises about the family may have originated in well-meaning intentions, but such thinking isn’t realistic. It’s not helpful. It’s not even kind.” Instead she offers hope in the form of “broken family values” that allow parents to grow and thrive with God. Values such as commitment, humility, relinquishment, and respect carry us to new places of understanding. Owning our brokenness shapes us into God’s best idea for us and enables us to discover the beauty in ourselves and each member of our family.

A well written collection of poetry and journalings about the grief of a young woman, and her very real, inspiring journey through that grief. Of how she came to realize exactly that, it was a journey. That the grief she suffered was so much more than the loss of a loved one, it was the loss of faith...the loss of a way of life...and the discovery that you can live beyond it. Grief in one form or another is an inevitable journey that each person will go through at one stage or other on this road called life. It is the author's hope that this book help people along their 'road'. To perhaps help them find words they struggle to find and voice emotions they hold deep inside. That maybe, the lessons she has learned will help them not only through their grief, but beyond it.
