Missing Robin Poems from a Mother's Grief Journey

Missing Robin: Poems from a Mother's Grief Journey is a compilation of poignant, creative insights into the depths of grief experienced by the author, Holly Snow Sillau, as she describes her innermost feelings while dealing with the untimely death of her only child. From the poems in the beginning of the collection, where you get an idea of just how it feels to be a bereaved parent, all the way to the last poems, where you can see the emergence of the courage, strength, and hope Holly finally finds, you'll be taken along with this brave woman through a wide variety of situations and emotions. Grieving parents will be able to identify with the journey described in Missing Robin, and others will gain an understanding of the scope of such a horrifying occurrence. Holly and her daughter, Robin, coauthored the inspiring book Robin's Wings: Lessons from My Daughter on How to Grieve for My Only Child (published in 2011). All proceeds from the sale of both books go to the charitable research fund Holly established in Robin's memory at New York City's Hospital for Special Surgery. The fund is called the Robin Joy Sillau Memorial Research Fund for Connective Tissue Disease.
