Adoption, Child Loss, and a Quest to Heal the Mother Wound

I have not posted on my blog in quite a while, but over the past year, I have been writing diligently about Michael: the adoption, our reunion, his death, everything in between, and beyond. In fact, as of yesterday, I have completed the first draft of what I plan to publish as a memoir.

With my husband's support and encouragement, I have delved deep into my memories, reconstructing events and their emotional toll, laying bare what it was like to lose a child, twice, and, more importantly, how I've survived.

I will be using my blog to engage potential readers, keep them updated on the book's progress, and help hold me accountable to my schedule and goals.

May I present my working title and a three-sentence synopsis.

 

Lost Again:

Adoption, Child Loss, and a Quest to Heal the Mother Wound

 

Lost Again follows my grief journey for the loss of my son, first through adoption as an infant, then his sudden death twenty-three years later. It illustrates the universal truth that child loss, no matter how suffered, creates a chasm of despair, and forces a parent to question every choice they’ve ever made. This story travels a path from fear and uncertainty to self-awareness and acceptance.
