06 MarWandering Purgatory – A New Book

Wandering Purgatory is a true story of heartbreak, hope, and healing.  From their website:

“….The next moment I found myself looking into the sweetest little face I had ever seen, the face of an angel.  Now I lay me down to sleep.  My mind began to run through the popular children’s prayer.  Were they sure…absolutely, positively sure?  I pray the Lord my soul to keep. He looked as if he might just be asleep, eyelids outlined with golden colored eyelashes resting peacefully on tiny cheeks. His tiny perfectly shaped little lips were dusty rose in color and were slightly parted as if waiting for a kiss.  If I should die before I wake.  He never got the chance to wake.”

And from the author Lori Spray-Esteve…”In 1986 my first child was stillborn at 40 weeks gestation. In those early days the heaviness of the grief I felt pressing in on me threatened to choke the very breath from my lungs.  I felt as if I was lost in the deepest pits of Hell. Only to learn that Hell had a new level of despair when a Priest informed us that our baby was doomed to “wander forever in purgatory” because he had not been baptized. This was just one of the many painful pitfalls that caused a delay in my healing process. Eventually this delay led to the loss of my marriage, prescription drug abuse and finally depression.

I have written my story in sincere hope that not another soul shall suffer the death of a baby as I have, alone, shattered, lost, scared and misunderstood. Walk with me as I finally find hope for healing, even after 20 years, in the most unexpected of ways.

I invite you to read my story now. It is my wish that you find comfort in the words and hope in the pages. I only ask that you be gentle in your judgement and abundant in your compassion.”
