In
Dahlia's Wake
By
Yona Zeldis McDonough
Rick
and Naomi Wechsler have spent many years together. They've been
through college and saw Rick through medical school to become a
doctor. After many miscarriages, Naomi finally has a baby girl they
name Dahlia. Their little miracle is the center of their lives until
a freak accident takes the child's life. This story shows descriptively
how one tragic event affects another and how the death of a child
sets off a series of events connected to her loss.
Rick
and Naomi can't deal with each other. They each search for the answers
to their grief with others. Will they find any comfort? Are there
any answers to be found? Coping with the death of a child and going
through the grieving process is not a path you can plan or direct.
As each good and bad decision is made the choice affect others in
way they didn't imagine.
In
Dahlia's Wake is the aftermath to what happens to parents who
lose their child. If you have never lost a child, it will give you
insight into the lives of grieving parents. If you have lost a child,
this will remind you of the pain we share and how turned around
our lives become in the moment that loss happens.
