Summary: One Woman's Voyage From Grief to Healing
Review: And Then Mark Died: Letters of Grief, Love and Faith is a collection of poignant letters written to various confidantes five years after Ms Vogel lost her adult son in a car accident. In reliving the horror of her loss, Ms Vogel lays herself bare and, in doing so, helps others who have experienced sudden, violent loss to heal. Ms Vogel's beautifully-phrased writing evokes sympathy, empathy and even sometimes amusement, as she describes her journey through nearly indescribeable pain to calm acceptance and understanding of her loss. This slim book will take any reader, bereaved or not, to a higher plane of self-awareness and maturity.
