Review Quotes

"I just wanted to take a moment to reach out after reading your book Love Lives Forever: A Story About Saying Goodbye. It's a truly beautiful and compassionate story-one that gently opens space for young hearts and even grown ones to understand loss and find comfort in the idea that love continues.

Ella's journey through grief was moving and relatable, and I especially appreciated how you explored different ideas about the afterlife Heaven, reincarnation, and even returning to the stars. The story struck a rare balance of honesty, hope, and emotional safety. The illustrations, too, added such warmth and depth.

After reading, I looked it up and noticed it hasn't received many ratings yet, which surprised me. I just wanted to say it absolutely deserves more recognition and that I'm truly glad I found it. I'll be recommending it to others who may need a gentle, thoughtful way to guide children through saying goodbye.

Thank you for sharing this story with the world."
