I lost my Father 31 years ago. My Mother 4 years ago and just recently my 15-year-old nephew. My heart never fully healed from the loss of my father until I read Courage Road. In one night I consumed the book as I could not put it down. That night I was able to move out of the grips of grief with tools to help me. I instantly felt a relief of all the many emotions that come with the loss of a loved one. I continue to pick up the book to navigate and help me. The words of courage, the tools, map, and backpack make this a resource that I share with many. I highly recommend this book. Its a gift I give all my family and friend dealing with grief. Thank you, Mary, for the powerful pages to help make this chapter of my life easier to navigate.
