A Description of "You Were Here Today," In Mollie McCreary's Own Words:

"You Were Here Today" is about teaching perspectives on life, not death. It is about a daughter insistently teaching the grace that comes with love, acceptance and forgiveness and it is about a mother's healing from an unthinkable loss. It is a spiritual quest toward wholeness and the wonder of our connection with the other side.

This book is about one of life's most impossible experiences, the loss of a child. It was written to honor Susan (Susie) Swope, from birth to her passing at twenty-two from cancer, and her powerful spirit which continues to communicate and teach their parents and friends from the "other side."

In a world filled with constant loss, we are asked to find our way to healing and meaning. Mollie writes of the after-life communication with her daughter and the peace she found in receiving the confirmation that her daughter IS. She honors her daughter's life and her own journey. She writes that we are here to heal even the most devastating losses; we are more loved and supported that we can imagine. Through example, Susie asked her mother to live with courage and love and forced her to confront her fears of death and surrender them. Susie's message, "Life is so much bigger than you know and so are you," shines through. As one of Susie's friends wrote after reading the book, "It's about light." The reader will experience, through Mollie and Susie, that we change and grow, but we do not end. Our thoughts, words and intentions have powerful meanings in our lives; we are given such partial vision, and asked to trust and believe the unknown and unseen. Perhaps that is why learning "here" can be so important, because it asks us to look beyond the physical. "It asks us to be more than we think we are."

"Thank you Mollie. Everything you share (in your book) is so real and true and I could feel Susie hugging me again! Words are never enough but your love was...and is. Bless you."
