Their Blood Runs Thru Us: Stories of Love, Loss, & Legacy

"There is a common thread of love, loss and legacy revealed through the up close and personal stories written in Their Blood Runs Thru Us. It's easy to talk about legacy and love, but having conversations about the unexpected struggles that come with end-of-life scenarios are often avoided. Dementia snatched the mind, body, and soul, but not before a legacy of love was established. Roach-infested humble beginnings put a spotlight on the strength of a mother determined to preserve her family. The emotions surrounding the loss of an absentee parent are beautifully expressed in "A Letter to Dad," as this book captures those stories and more. There are intimate views of the depression and emotional overwhelm which happens around times of grief, but there are also real-life triumphs captured in this powerful snapshot of legacy builders who are thriving beyond the grave. Experiences with death are not isolated incidents; we all share in the sorrows connected with grief. The comfort and strength depicted within the pages of this book will hopefully lead you in the direction of grief recovery. Learning to live without the ones we love is a process that takes time, but the journey is easier when we keep alive in our memories the rich legacy of love and life embodied in the blood that runs thru us"--
