Honoring Mamie: A Memoir Inspired by a Sudden Loss and a Promise to Capture Her Legacy

The inspiration came from the very sudden death of my mother. “Mamie” is the name given to mom by her grandchildren so all of her children and in-laws adopted the name. In May of 2016, Mamie was sitting in her car waiting for her favorite store to open. She fell asleep momentarily, as she often did, and never woke up. According to the coroner, Mamie had suffered a massive heart attack in her sleep and never felt a thing. It came as a shock to me and all the family, and I promised myself at the time, that I would write a book honoring her legacy as a mother. It took eight years to find the courage, the time, and the determination to compile the book, but this summer when one of my children was undergoing surgery, I started the memoir and finished it about a month later. She was always encouraging me to write books about my travels and after I had completed that series, I finished her book as well.

Finding Closure: A Memoir Offering Comfort and Lessons for Embracing Loss and Focusing on the Joyful Moments

I hope readers get a sense of closure, by accepting the loss and remembering the good times while letting go of anything negative. Life is too short to hold grudges or look at the sad moments, rather, it’s a short race requiring a lot of energy and focus to be happy and successful. It took eight years to set my emotions aside and focus on “the lessons” that may assist another grieving person.
