A Daughter's Journey

A Daughter's Journey was written during the most difficult time in my life--grieving the loss of my daughter, Chantal, who passed away on July 22, 2012. She inspired many people throughout her lifetime, including me. Her inspiration has given me strength and has compelled me to share her story with the world. She lived each day to the fullest while she battled cancer and heart disease from her earliest years. Here, I talk about her fears, anxieties, and frustrations. The love and compassion, the patience and understanding she felt for other people made her who she truly was--a loving spirit. I share her story in the hope of helping families whose lives have been affected by illness or are grieving the loss of a child.

Knowing that my daughter is around me and communicates with me has helped my grieving her loss. I know that death is not final. Her soul lives on.
