Just This Side of Heaven

This book is not merely a recounting of grief. It is a story of community, a priest, and the unseen connections that bind us together. It is about the trials and triumphs that define our lives and the resilience we find in each other when the unimaginable happens. I will take you through the moments that broke us, the people who lifted us up, and the spiritual journey that followed. In these pages, you will meet families who, like mine, have faced profound loss. You will learn about the role that faith played in helping us find a way forward.

This is my story. This is our story. And through it all, I hope that you, too, will find your own path to healing and solace in your own side of heaven.
