About the Book

It never crossed my mind that one day I would find myself sitting behind my kitchen table, attempting to write any kind of a book, let alone writing about the tragedy that has shaken me and my family. It is because of this indescribable pain that I have chosen to write this book in memory of my daughter, Loriana. For me, it has also been good therapy.

I never could have dreamt that one day the tragedy of sudden death would take place in my own family. It would bring us to the realization that, at times, there is no end to pain, and sometimes, there is no limit to its extremity.

For the person grieving, I know for sure that reading this book will not take the pain away. But I believe what you have read will help you to understand the emotions of a mother and realize that you are not alone. If you are not grieving at this time, be assured that somewhere in your lifetime it will occur. Keep what you have read in mind. It is my prayer that all of you readers with troubled hearts may find peace within you in this world of suffering and pain.


About the Author

I was born in the city of Pola, Croatia, on the peninsula of Istria. My childhood was an unusual one; I had to grow up quickly. I was used to working hard in the fields and having little time for homework. The most important thing to me that I missed was my parents' affection. It was because of this that I wanted my children to grow up in a different atmosphere, in a different world, than I did in my homeland

Now my husband and I are facing the great loss of our daughter, Loriana, my "Sweetheart." The death of a child, I had been told, is the worst tragedy imaginable. And death is something, I once thought, only occurred to others, not to one of my loved ones. But events happen that we are powerless to control. I knew so little about the nature of death, I was terrorized when it struck. The very foundation of my life cracked and fell apart.

I must say this to all parents: be there for your children no matter how difficult your own childhood might have been. It can make a big difference today and a brighter tomorrow; a better world to live in for all of us.
