An unexpected phone call creates a foreboding fear of death, testing a mother's faith. "Hi Mom, it's your son Bob." Her smile quickly fades; her son is in the hospital. He has just been told he has multiple myeloma-a bone marrow cancer-and there is no cure. Betsy found hope in her faith that God could heal, so she waited and prayed for four years and three months for a miracle. Prayers did not bring healing, and this mother's heart was broken. Dealing with grief became even more unbearable with the sudden loss of an exceptionally comforting Boston Terrier. A journey of restoration begins with a newly acquired Boston Terrier named Ribbons. While struggling to accept God's will in the loss of her son, Betsy discovers that walking the dog becomes a spiritual pilgrimage. Healing happens as God and grief meet in a secluded field just beyond the visible edge of her mobile home community. Deep sorrow yields to the comfort of God's beauty in nature: a field of cheerful yellow flowers...a majestic morning sunrise...a bird's delightful song...all become welcome gifts of joy and hope. Fear of death begins to fade after one special moment in that field she calls her healing place, where she experiences God's intimate, healing presence. In this wonderfully written memoir, the author hopes to help others overcome their fear of death and to reaffirm their faith in God in spite of the very real struggles of dealing with grief. This is one of those must-read books on grieving the loss of a child that will help people trust God's wisdom and goodness beyond the edge of this visible life.
