I Am Here: Postcards from My Daughter in Spirit - Paperback

by Judith Jones Togher (Author)

Love doesn't end at death-it finds a new way to speak

When Judith Jones Togher's thirty-nine-year-old daughter, Suzanne, dies after a long illness, grief shatters the world they shared. But long before Suzanne's death, mother and daughter had made a pact: whoever left first would find a way to reach the other. In the stunned aftermath, Judith begins receiving what she comes to call postcards-small but unmistakable messages from Suzanne: the scent of roses in an empty room, a clock crashing from a shelf, songs arriving at exactly the right moment, pennies appearing in the most unlikely places. Each one carries the same message: I am here.

Tender and searching, I Am Here is Judith's story of a brilliant, sensitive, and complicated daughter whose life was marked by beauty, suffering, humor, and a deep spiritual force. As she traces Suzanne's journey, Judith also chronicles the signs, dreams, rituals, and grief practices that transformed devastating loss into an ongoing bond. A love letter to a daughter and a companion for anyone living after loss, this is a book about mourning, meaning, and the possibility that love is not ended by death-only translated.
