A Seven-Year Goodbye: a journey through child loss and beyond

"The power of Margo's book lies in her honesty, both with the readers and with herself, and in her wonderful, down-to-earth sense of humor. Out of her grief from a series of devastating losses, she has managed to emerge not only whole, but strong, creative, and very funny. She writes about her impatience with the sometimes clueless people around her, as well as her dedication in continuing to work through a long and deeply painful healing process. Her commitment to her surviving sons is deep and beautiful, and without a doubt her focus on them has helped them come to grips with the deaths of their father and brother. Her observations about what helped her and what tripped her up will remain with readers and help us to be a little more sensitive to the survivors in our lives. Nothing theoretical here--Margo has lived this and speaks her truth." -Laura Merlo, Eagle Eye Editing
