I am the mother of a son that tragically died in a car accident. He was eleven years old. I feel uniquely qualified to write a book about this loss.
My loss turned incredibly worse when I was informed that my husband was driving the car my two children were in, and alcohol was involved. I was devastated, shocked and confused. I had no idea he had taken them in the car when he was not only drunk...he was wasted.
I found myself slowly moving through the four phases of grief without knowledge of the importance of each phase. I had no idea how to deal with grief or that it could rear its ugly head twenty years later .
With a lot of help, I finally figured out that my future could give me a pleasant life even if the pain was tattooed forever on my heart.
I have self-published my book on Amazon and I encourage you to read my story and see how I managed depression so black I was afraid of LIFE. It is available now. It is called Eleven To Heaven

Hello Ellen,
My wife would watch your show everyday, she always said however here day was going that you would cheer her up. I lost my job in August and it has been a major struggle getting by. We have a 6 year old son that is so excited for Christmas, it brakes my heart to look at him because unless things turn around there wont be a Christmas for him. I started to watch your show as well, I know what my wife means now because for an hour a day I can smile and forget about all that is going on and wanted to thank you for making me smile and forgetting life's struggles just for a little bit of my day.
