Summary

It isn't natural to bury your child, but life doesn't always follow the natural way. Shattered Soul: An Angel Parent's Journey is a story of every parent's worst nightmares, the death of a child. Kristina Widener shares her journey of grief after losing her youngest child to SIDS, her emotions, memories, and how she has coped with it all. 

"Welcome to my journey. This has been a road of pain, grief, discovery, loss, healing, joy, love, and so many other things that are hard to put a name on. This is my story, my version of the thoughts and feelings that I have experienced since losing my youngest child. That is a hard statement to say, to write, to read, but it is the cold fact of the matter. I will take you through the roller-coaster ride I have lived, and am still living. I will tell you what I can remember, what I felt, and how I feel now at the time of writing this." 

Join Kristina, if only for a brief moment, on her journey. Shattered Soul: An Angel Parent's Journey will take you down an unforgettable path. When you lose a child, you're still a parent, an Angel Parent, and here is the story of one Angel Parent determined to break the silence of her grief.

Emotional, moving memoir

This audiobook delivers exactly what it promises - a window into the harrowing journey of a mother who has lost her youngest child to SIDS/SUIDS.

The author's harrowing journey is described with total candour, never shying from the harshness of reality with all its heartbreak, yet it still brims with heartfelt, wrenching emotion that radiates with every sentence. The tone of the book is as real as it can be, and I never had a doubt about the genuiness or truthfulness of this account.

The narrator is the perfect choice for this audiobook. Her passionful, pain-filled evocation of a grieving mother is pitch-perfect and her rendering of emotional content couldn't have been better executed. Her work is as real as the material is, and the two elements complement each other perfectly.

Altogether, this is a very good, informative memoir, which could prove to be especially helpful for those who have gone through- and are still going through - similar journeys. An excellent audiobook.
