“A pointed, intelligently told story of a family accepting loss gracefully. Such a book on one’s nightstand, particularly if one is in the midst of the grieving process, could offer solace in a way that fiction never could.” – Kirkus Review
“A memoir of hope and serenity, of acceptance that “death is a part of life,” that “learning to live and love is a lifelong process and that our greatest gift is today.” The message is inspirational. Death may interrupt the journey, but it can never stop us from completing it.” IndieReader Review, 5 Star
When Caroline Flohr’s sixteen-year-old twin daughter, Sarah, is killed in an accident involving eight teens taking a mid-night joyride, what’s left behind? And how do you move forward?
An intimate self-examination told through the eyes and heart of Sarah's mother Caroline, Heaven's Child is a magical memoir that teaches us how to surrender to our losses and celebrate the gifts of death while rediscovering life. Tackling deep questions and universal misunderstandings, the story draws readers to journey beside Caroline as she opens the domestic scenes of home, heart, family, and community.
Heaven’s Child provides the solace needed to overcome our greatest losses. The story encourages you to find your life’s purpose and helps you realize that you never journey alone.
The book covers sudden loss; death of a child; relationships within a family; funerals and traditions; doubts, faith and hope; marriages, divorces, and parenting; forgiveness and healing; the power of memories and intuition; inner strength, and the resilience of the human spirit. Heaven’s Child shows us that the grieving process is personal, that it’s not just about death but also about any loss in our life; that grieving is not about endings…but about new beginnings.

When Caroline opened the door to two officers, her life and that of her entire family would change forever. One of her twins, Sarah, was killed in a car accident, where other seven teenagers were traveling in the middle of the night. This is a story of pain, grief, despair, hopelessness and of the terrible impact her death had on her parents, step-parents, grandparents, and siblings. But it is also a story of struggle, determination, resilience, and hard work to overcome an experience that no parent should have to endure. She is very honest in her descriptions and in sharing her feelings. However, the book did not speak to me. I guess it is an issue of personalities and beliefs. Her other twin daughter was so desperate that they resorted to psychics and everybody felt Sarah's presence at different moments, including the dog. I guess it is an OK read, but I am happy that Caroline was able to overcome her grief.Product details

Heaven Child A true story of family friends and strangers edition by Caroline Flohr Politics Social Sciences eBooks Reviews
Reading this very touching true story, my heart went out to the family, especially the twin that was left behind.
I have three grown children, my oldest son Peter, my middle son Garry, and my Daughter Tina.
They are all grown, with good jobs. There has been deaths in their lives, Peter lost his wife Robin 10 years ago, from a perforation of her liver after having a simple gallbladder surgery done..
My beautiful daughter Tina, lost her young husband at the age of 46. He died from liver failure, and many complications. Corey was my "other son " we were very close, he left behind 3 children, whom he adopted when he married my Daughter!
And our middle child, Garry, died last year on October 6, 2013! He suffered from Pancreatic cancer. He was an educator at Windham Technical school, where he was a student, when he graduated from middle school. He left behind his wife of 10 years, and 3 stepchildren.
My husband and I live in Florida and our family lives in Connecticut. 1400 miles from where we live.
We found out in March that Garry was ill, and our daughter-in-law, called and warned us that Garry `s illness might be seriousl, and he saw his family doctor, and many tests had been taken, and Dee told us that Garry would call us to give us the results
That evening, Garry called us and gently broke the news that he was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer.
My life as I knew it ended on that day.
Our beautiful family was broken beyond repair.. I felt like I needed to be with Garry, so I flew to Connecticut, to be with him and to help by bringing him to his chemo treatments, etc. I had to return home after spending nearly a month at their house. But soon left again in June, so we could be there for his 51st. Birthday. Again we stayed a month, came back to Florida but as his health progressed, it was time to go back. This time we were there a good month. At this time, Garry unrecognizable, the Cancer had ravaged what was at one time , a very strong and healthy looking handsome young man.
I read your book and struggled with reading the loss of your beautiful young daughter. You expressed how you coped, and how your family survived the loss for and the daily struggle of each member.
I felt your pain, your struggles, and your strong faith .
I am in the early stages of my grief, I am struggling to accept our loss and I go to a bereavement group meeting on Tuesday. .I pray daily, but haven't been able to come to terms with losing my previous son.
I hope your book will give me the strength to accept what God has put in my path.
Thank you for sharing your story. And God bless you and your family. Marie Lutsky
Caroline Flohr suffers every parent's worst nightmare when her 16 year old daughter, Sarah, is killed in a car accident. This book details the first five years after that loss, as Flohr and her family move through the loss. Flohr's family includes her husband, Andy, Sarah's twin sister, Caiti, son Christopher, and two younger daughters, Annie and Mary, who will not really remember Sarah, as they were just 1 and 2 when she passed. Andy is not Sarah/Caiti/Christopher's biological father; Flohr's first husband has remarried and lives in another state. Andy is the father of Annie and Mary.
I have not lost a child nor have I even had children, so obviously I can't completely understand what this would feel like. But this tragedy has struck those around me, including my sister. From what I can tell, there are two main paths people seem to take 1. Grieving without being able to see any beauty in the world again or 2. Grieving, but building a new life out of the new normal and being able to see beauty in the world again.
Flohr falls into the second category. I have seen folks take her to task about how she married Andy, quickly started another family, and how Andy seems ill-suited as the father of teenage girls. Obviously, we can't know the whole story, as Andy didn't write the book and we have one letter from Sarah that talks about how she and Caiti had issues after their parents' divorce. I think that Flohr has suffered enough without people passing judgment on her parenting. Maybe it was good, maybe it wasn't. But she appears to have learned a great deal from a horrible situation.
Some favorite quotes from the book
*I heard somewhere that you can never get tot the other side of a painful struggle without facing it head-on and going through it - no around, over, or under, but through every hopeless, terrifying moment. (For the record - I have said this many times. You must go through it. If you don't, it will keep coming back.)
*If I could have foreseen the tragedy we were living out, I'd never have encouraged their lives melding together so much. Caiti and Sarah had never been their own persons in that shared lifetime.
*Death happens. Accidents happen. People face tragedy as best they can. I could never know more than that. I can accept that life isn't fair, that bad things happen, that Mother Nature continues of her own accord, without explanation. I don't know if everything is God's will. And I don't hold God responsible for taking Sarah from us. I believe in a God who helps me, not a God who punishes me. And I believe He will never abandon me.
*First When life isn't good, let truth lead the way. I don't need to hide or be ashamed of my feelings. Life needs to be authentic. Second Never again would I claim only four children. I had five children, and one of them died. A beautiful child once lived in my home. Now, she lives in my heart. I can still smile and live a joyful life.
I found the story very uplifting. Highly recommend.
