Advanced Praise for “The Voice of An Angel”!!!  I am humbled…

The Voice of an Angel is a warm, compassionate guide for any parent that has experienced the unspeakable grief of losing a child. Marcy is a remarkable example of courage and grace in the face of intense pain, as she takes the reader by the hand and leads them on a path toward hope and healing. May God bless Marcy for sharing her wisdom for how to cope with life’s most difficult tragedy. The journey never ends, but having someone with whom to share it makes it more bearable than it otherwise would be.

What do you say when someone loses a loved one let alone a child? What could you possibly do? What do you do when it is you losing a loved one or child? Marcy’s book is a valuable resource to help answer questions like these and countless others.

The Voice of an Angel is a wonderful book. I found it to be so inspiring. The journey on which Marcy is on to get this information out to people who are grieving the loss of a loved one. The tools are unique and this will help people to grieve and heal in their own way and time. To empower people to not feel guilty about anything they are feeling or doing through this process. What a gift!!

A great resource for those in need; grieving is one of those personal subjects rarely discussed. Voice of an Angel provides a much needed gude for those working through the process.

Ms. Stone was able to offer a different approach to life after the loss of a child. Having hope of thriving and happiness again with a clear roadmap is an element in writing the market is lacking. I thought the blend of her personal struggles, accompanied by a guideline to follow was such a benefit to the reader. The balance of the two will be such an effective new tool for parents working through this most difficult circumstance.

Joanne Braunsberg

 

Experiencing the tragic loss of her beautiful daughter, Marcy Stone shares with us the benefits of staying in the moment. To feel the pain without idling in the pain. To feel and release. Reminding us what really is the core of all things.  The Voice of an Angel is the guidance that is so necessary for all of us to live by today.

I cannot put into words the raw and powerful emotions in this book. While I never knew Sydney, the book shows how special she was. A parent’s worst nightmare, losing a child. For all parents who have to live it, a mother who has lived it offers heartfelt and honest feelings to help the grieving process and living, when all seems lost. I admire Marcy’s courage, I can only image how difficult this book was to write, but I am sure Sydney and Marcy will have warm smiles inside knowing that that courage has provided hope and encouragement to those suffering the worst loss. Read this book, hug your kids, (no matter how old) and thank Marcy (and Sydney) for this incredible work

Joe Booth

While I have not lost a child,Marcy’s book has provided me with three incredible gifts. First,gratitude that I have not experienced anything close to the emotional turmoil shared in this book.To live more unconditionally and with more vulnerability as my children learn by my example. And third ,the foresight to forever treasure my children in ways I hadn’t imagined possible. This book offers the story of heartbreak, courage and resilience. The Voice of an Angel provides a structure and concepts that we can incorporate in our daily living to enhance ourselves and our relationships going forward to ensure we begin living with no regrets. Thank you Marcy!

And my first “Editorial Review” by Chick Lit Cafe

The Voice of an Angel: A Mother’s Guide to Grief and How To Thrive After The Loss of a Child by Marcy Stone relates the author’s story of recovery following the tragic death of her daughter. Sydney Stone died as a result of a motor vehicle accident on Christmas Eve, 2016. Marcy begins her story with recounting the special and close relationship she had with her daughter, Sydney, and her oldest daughter, Aubrey. Marcy knew that her time with Sydney would be limited, and so made every effort to ensure that the family always lived and experienced their love for one another, and made every day special.

After the tragic accident that took Sydney’s life, Sydney began to visit Marcy in her dreams, encouraging her to be true to herself, to be strong, and to rise above the overwhelming emotions that threatened to drag her down into an endless depression. With Sydney watching over her, and Aubrey walking beside her, Marcy explores the steps she took – and still takes – to be an overcomer and to survive such a life-altering event.

In The Voice of an Angel, the author, Marcy Stone, describes such complex and heart-wrenching emotions as she faces her terrible loss, and yet the reader is left with a sense of hope and encouragement and positivity, which is not what I expected from a guide to dealing with grief, and was a pleasant surprise and in some ways a relief. It is hard to imagine how a mother (or any parent) can recover from such awful circumstances, but Marcy has managed to encapsulate all of the negative and harmful emotions and feelings and surround them with love, to draw out determination, and to offer those grieving hope that they will be able to function again without their loved one. A quote from the book that struck me as particularly poignant was “Grief makes us understand the power of love.”

As well as a personal story of survival, The Voice of an Angel: A Mother’s Guide to Grief and How To Thrive After The Loss of a Child is a guide for all who have lost a loved one, not just a child, but a parent, or a friend, or a relative. The guide can be taken as a step-by-step journey and there is no time limit, but there is a goal. There are even graphics to help understanding, and refreshers that can be worked through at a pace determined by the reader. I expected to be tearful and depressed, but this book is full of hope. Chick Lit Café highly recommends The Voice of an Angel: A Mother’s Guide to Grief and How To Thrive After The Loss of a Child by Marcy Stone.
