Publisher's Synopsis
"Imagine watching your child pass over... unfortunately, I don't have to imagine that!" While Mary has believed, "life is temporary," most of her adult life, it became more evident in the summer of 2017. On this day, Mary Cary's heart stopped beating for what seemed like an eternity, as she witnessed her son struggle to hold on to his life, and ultimately take his last breath. A moment Mary never saw coming and will never forget. To expect the unexpected is rare for most of us, and precisely what Mary's reality is today. On Saturday, July 15, 2017, her sweet, loving and courageous 9-year-old son, Ulysses Bluntson V was called home by way of a fatal asthma attack. What seemed to be a typical day of Ulysses eating dinner and playing his video game, turned into 15-minutes of attempting to preserve his life. Yes, 15-whole minutes, that seemed longer than the 9-months it took to carry him! This book of memoirs captures Mary's journey through grief and healing for over two years. It includes daily accounts of Mary coping while writing in her journal, grief support exercises, positive affirmations, journal writing topics, and blank pages to create mental masterpieces. Mary hopes this book will become a resource, tool, and safe haven for the reader. For every person coping the loss of a loved one, be it your son or daughter, Godchild, niece, nephew, grandchild or friend; Mary sets out to help you on your path to serenity. #BreatheAndJustBe
