NEW YORK—June 26, 2018—Morgan James’s new release, Life from the Ashes: Finding Signs of Hope After Loss by Shari O’Loughlin, tells a story of devastation, darkness, and rediscovering hope. O’Loughlin shares her personal experience with grief and moving forward after the loss of her teenage son. She offers readers a raw, vulnerable, and relatable source of inspiration for their own journeys.
Shari O’Loughlin experienced every parent’s nightmare. Her fourteen-year-old son, Connor, was killed in a devastating airplane crash on his way home from a four-day vacation. This news was the beginning of a traumatic journey that she felt might never end. Faced with a life she never wanted—one without her son— O’Loughlin had to find the strength and courage to carry on for her family and for herself. In honor of Connor and in hopes of helping other grieving parents, she now shares her story of heartache and transformation in Life from the Ashes.
Facing the despair that comes with death, O’Loughlin addresses the questions that every parent in this situation faces including: how does life go on after losing a child and is it possible to be happy again? She explains how she found hope, faith, and deeper meaning in life amid devastating loss. Through her faith, she found that the soul lives on beyond the body, thus, Connor’s spirit lived on and remained with her. O’Loughlin assures readers that they will feel purpose, beauty, and joy again. She guides them towards healing with compassion and gentle understanding.
No parent should ever have to experience the loss of a child. For those who do face this tragic reality, Life from the Ashes serves as a lifeline and a deeply needed roadmap back to hope, fulfillment, and normalcy.
