Jill Kraft Thompson

On March 25, 2002, Jill Kraft Thompson's life changed forever. In a horrifying car crash, she lost five members of her family––her husband Bart, her two sons, Ben and Sam, her mom, and her niece Sarah. Jill survived, but wished she hadn't. This heartbreaking, and ultimately heartwarming, story will touch anyone who has experienced bereavement and asked, "What's the point in going on?" In Jill's own words: "I dedicate this book to all who have suffered through grief. Whether it comes in a great mass or a minute spore, one must honor grief with thought, perserverance, and understanding so that grief transforms into strength instead of manifesting as endless grief." Jill now lives with her new husband, John, and their four-year-old son, Franklin. This is the powerful story of how one woman experienced unthinkable tragedy and yet survived to discover new love, new hope, and new life.
