Produktbeschreibung

Mother-of-three Susan Loch lived a carefree life until 21 March 2011. Yet when she woke to find a policeman standing beside her husband, she immediately guessed the sickening truth. Jessica, her nineteen-year-old daughter, had been killed, the latest victim of a treacherous stretch of the Princes Highway on the New South Wales south coast. Life, as Susan knew it, had changed forever. Jessica's Gift is a candid and heartfelt story, charting how Susan grappled with each subsequent day. Initially, her grief felt intolerable and unending, but while Susan despaired, she didn't give up. Gradually, hope, peace and even joy crept back into her life. Susan's strength and resilience will inspire anyone who seeks to understand the trauma of child bereavement.

Autorenporträt

Susan Loch is a debut author who lives in Mollymook, NSW. She was inspired to write a memoir about grief after attending a talk by the founder of The Compassionate Friends. Canon Simon Stephens began the organisation in order to help bereaved parents deal with their shared experiences. He spoke about the importance of books written by those who have been through this form of suffering, leading Susan to write about her own journey following the death of her daughter.
