Forever Five: Adventures of The Ladybug Hunter - Paperback

by Patricia Meier (Author)

Can you survive the loss of a child?

Patricia Meier knows you can because she's lived it. She lived through 15 months of caring for her five year old daughter with brain cancer. She lived through the loss of her child and her marriage. She's lived through fielding "helpful" suggestions from friends and family, through navigating the medical system, and through putting her life back together. She has survived devastating loss, and now thrives as she keeps her daughter's memory close to her heart.

There is hope. This is her story.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Patricia Meier's wish to have a daughter finally came true. All those wishes on birthday cakes and falling stars, answered at last. The morning of December 6, 2001, Alexandra Avis Kennedy was born. She had beautiful blue eyes and the fingers of a pianist. She was a dainty little blonde and perfect in every way. Patricia's heart's desire had come true.

Four short years later, the dream turned into a nightmare, after Patricia received the devastating news that Alexandra had a life-threatening brain tumour; one that eventually took her life.

This is a mother's journey from the darkness back to the light. The spirit of intent in sharing this story is to provide hope for others who find themselves in similar dire straits, to provide hope during the hard times, and to let you know there is life and joy to be had again at the end of this dark night.
