Summary: An inspiration in dealing with the aftershock
Review: A very inspirational book. The author not only tells her story, but brings to mind our own sorrow and how to cope with it. It helps one understand the struggle of finding his true peace. A must read for anyone thinking of becoming a pastor.

Summary: Oprah needs this book
Review: Stephen died in a car accident at the age of eighteen and this is his mother's story. I don't know when or if I have ever been so affected by anything.I do know one thing - this child of Marcia's was apparently meant to be a gift to more people than could ever have known him here on Earth. I hope Marcia knows how many lives she has touched by sharing this story, that people read this book and find in the pages the determination to not be whipped by loss, but to become a survivor, as she did.

Summary: Excellent
Review: Stephen's Moon has been an inspiration to me. I read it only a few weeks after my uncle passed away, and it has helped me by reminding me that I am not the only one who grieves. After reading only two or three chapters, I feel like I knew Stephen. Marica is an excellent writer, and I would recommend this book to anyone who has ever lost a loved-one or known anyone who has.

Summary: Uplifting and Wonderful
Review: This book was wonderfully written. I am glad that Marcia was able to write her experiences and feelings to help others like me deal with our pain of loosing a child. I lost my child May 10, 1998 and I can't explain the pain, but having someone out there to share helps to know that I am not alone and there is someone who cares and understands. I give her alot of praise for all she has been through and how she turned it into a positive instead of a negative. I too made the death of my son into a positive helping others dealing with the same loss. I am the Outreach Coordinator for The Compassionate Friends, Fredericksburg, VA Chapter. With out TCF and people like Marcia, I wouldn't have made it as far as I have. Thank you Marcia and God Bless you!

Summary: A preliminary in bereavement and healing
Review: Within these pages, one finds an extraordinary bond of love between a mother and her son. The reader comes to cherish their relationship, the short but wonderful eighteen years that they had together, the memories instilled in their hearts in the present and the joy of finding each other again in Heaven. The author finds enough room in her heart for humor in what she had always seen bereavement to be (in a chapter called Flo, Bessie, Gertrude and Old Rufus)but she also quickly and clearly teaches us that sincerity and quiet compassion are the most significant humanities in healing the grief and helping to build the raft. A must read for all.
