Never Alone in the Darkness: The Shared Journey of Losing a Child

NEVER ALONE IN THE DARKNESS The Shared Journey of Losing a Child was written for readers to feel as though they are sitting at the kitchen table sharing a cup of coffee and conversation with the author. After losing her son in 2017 Gibson felt isolated walking on the edge between reality and insanity. She had no idea if what she was feeling was normal. Had other mothers experienced the same emotions when they went through the nightmare of their loss? Finding purpose in her pain she put her deepest emotions into words so other mothers would always have a reference to read at any given point in their grief to identify with a mother who knew firsthand what they were feeling. It was her hope these grieving mothers would never feel alone in the fight for their survival. Additionally she recognized that the death of ones child affects every person connected to a grieving mother. By sharing her unwelcome firsthand knowledge with them she knew it would provide them a better understanding of the darkness struggle and search for hope a grieving mother endures each day.
