Overview

"Jamie's Joy: Honoring Grief, Creating Legacy, Celebrating Life offers a raw, honest, and heartfelt account of the most agonizing, painful, and life-altering loss-that of a child. Ms. Bratton shares the intimate details of her process upon losing her precious son, Jamie. She shows us how our ""grief illiterate"" society makes an anguished experience even more painful through its lack of support for the bereaved and, perhaps worse, by making the bereavement process seem shameful and unhealthy. According to the author, the common belief that we need to ""move on with our lives"" and leave our lost loves in the past does not work. Ms. Bratton learned to rethink most of her past beliefs about God, people, and the nature of life to survive and heal with faith. Jamie's Joy offers candid ways the bereaved can shift their thoughts to adapt to the new reality of such a loss and eventually regain belief in the goodness of life. The mission of this book is to offer you Ms. Bratton's stark and intriguing insights-not as a direction, but as something to consider if you are on your path of loss or have ever needed to help someone else who is. This book was created to provide you with resources and supportive guides to use, as needed."

Author Information

Being of service is how I've healed and made sense of a world which at times can look bleak. I've had many losses, starting at age 10. These losses have shaped my life, but have not defined it, instead it's deepened my compassion and redefined my relationships, in profound ways that allows me to live more fully and less fearfully, intertwining the legacies of those I lost, into my own life in a tapestry of honoring and remembering, as opposed to letting go or forgetting. I believe we are here to practice healing for ourselves, each other, and the planet. I practice this through sharing my passion, compassion, love and authenticity to continually grow into who I was born. When my heart was completely broken, I found my way back by co-founding Jamie's Joy non-profit to continue his legacy of Love*Joy*Peace* Connection. My work as a therapist focuses on healing trauma and exploring Spiritual connection in therapy, workshops, and retreats. I am also a poet, essayist, and author.
