A Story of Love, Loss and Life

Cathy Sosnowsky

Shortly after his 17th birthday in 1992, Cathy Sosnowsky’s son Alex died in a freak accident in Whistler, BC. Canada. In the wake of his death, Sosnowsky sought solace in the writing of poetry and with the support of The Compassionate friends found a sense of peace and acceptance surrounding this tragic loss. She published her first book Holding On Poems for Alex in 2001. Today Cathy Sosnowsky is a regional director of an international parent bereavement group-The Compassionate Friends.  She is a speaker and lectures on grief recovery, life as art, as well as is available for writing workshops

This touching and exquisitely written autobiography follows a mother’s journey, framed by snapshots, through the loss of her 17-year-old son, Alex, in a freak accident, and her two late-adopted children to drugs and the streets. From this darkness, Sosnowsky learns to transform her grief into hope and, eventually, through her involvement with The Compassionate Friends — an international self-help organization of bereaved parents — to help other bereaved parents heal through her poignant poetry and compassionate listening.
