Losing Andar Valerie Deville

For over twenty years as a practicing Psychotherapist Valerie DeVille has helped others cope with the difficulties of life. When her son Andar died in 2016 she found herself lost, bereft of direction and unable to know which way to go. Losing Andar is Valerie's very intimate journey through the darkness of that loss and her effort to make sense of the tragedy. Through her writing Valerie found light in the darkest of times and peace amid the struggle. This book is recommended for anyone who has faced the loss of a child, and anyone who is trying to understand what another is going through, who has had such a loss. Others who have losses may find hope in the message that "you are not alone". As Valerie says, "I think losing a child is completely different than any other death. I carried him and was there when he took his first breath. I marveled at his first step and word. I comforted him in the night when he woke up scared. I thought my power in his life was far greater than it was."Come on the journey with her to find a deeper meaning in all that we face.
