Surviving Holidays

About the Book

My name is Sandra K. Wilkerson. I am the author of the book “Memoirs of a Teenage Angel” Comfort After the Storm of Losing My Dee Dee.

I want to thank God for this opportunity for me to share with you some of the encounters from my book that happen to me personally in my relationship with God.

I have shared with the reader my unrelenting faith and belief in God during the most painful crisis of my life. I hope that my book will become a lifeline for grieving parents and loveones.

I pray that you can visualize the story and see the “Glory”!!!!

It is a very inspiring story that will take readers on a journey about my 13 year old daughter and how I reflects on many of our Saturday morning conversations on how she informed me that she had a petition before God that she wanted to be a teenager in heaven and to be a teenager throughout eternity. She even prayed
and asked God to allow her time to prepare her “MOM” for her home going to be with him and to come for her when it was convenient…..And He did.

3 months later she had an accident at her school and did not survive her injuries. Dee Dee’s prayers were answered…Our family was living continuously in deep agony…and life for me will never be the same.

Although I’ve lost a child, all who read my book and have suffered a loss will be able to mentally and physically replay my thoughts of complete emptiness—One of hurt and confusion. I kept asking myself. “How long can my heart bear all this pain? When will I be able to smile and laugh again, and will it be the way that I really
feel in my heart.” It seemed so far from me if it could happen at all. How do you get over not having your child in your life?

My book “Memoirs of a Teenage Angel” is not just another story of a mother’s love for her child. It’s an inspiring book about the “Miracles” God performed for me personally while bringing my family and me through what I thought was our most troublesome time.

In the book you will join me through the worst storm that a parent could ever experience…the loss of a child.

It tells how the Lord delivered me from my yesterday sorrow of not having my child in my life and how I survived with help that only He could give me. It also tells about my experiences with him during those trying times of sadness, discouragement and bereavement.

I believe that there are a lot of people suffering from a broken heart because death has claimed the life of their loved one and having a broken heart is a pain like no other pain.

I know that it takes God and time to heal and deliver you but sometimes you just need a starting place. I’m confident that my book will give people “HOPE” and a point to start the healing process and will help lift the burden of the loss of a loved one.

I wrote the book to be enlightening to anyone who reads it. Especially to those who are reading seeking comfort from difficult times, Difficult times does not just mean the death of a loved one it could be any life tragedy such as a divorce or a severe illness, maybe a financial strain or whatever your situation might be.

It will remind readers that dealing with grief and distress can show God’s miraculous power to heal broken hearts.

I know grief that besets a bereaved family cannot adequately be put into words.
My story will encourage your heart and strengthen your faith to believe that God will do just what he promised and will champion you through any trial.

No matter how dark the storm, the sun is going to shine again. You too can experience an added measure of strength and peace and time will take you to a brighter day.

I know that trusting in God and drawing near to Him can turn a devastating situation into a life of purpose with joy, peace, and happiness that surpasses all understanding.

He proved to me that he was indeed my great deliverer in our time of trouble. He has given me freedom from the bondage of sorrow of not having my daughter here with me.

He made my family and me “VICTORS” instead of “VICTIMS” and he has no respect of person. If he did it for us, he’ll do it for you.

I believe that my daughter was an amazing person that comes around once in a life time.

I admire her for her bravery, her courageous stand of faith to have such a petition before God and to have the faith to see it through to the end.

She asked me to be happy for her because it was going to be the happiest day of her life and she wanted to have shared it all with her “MOM”.

Deep within my heart, I have great joy but there is also “guilt”, knowing that I want her with me.

I believe that being a teenager in heaven has to be far above and beyond her greatest expectations, and the heart healing journey that God has taken me on since her departure has truly inspired me to bless the Lord at all times and His “PRAISES” shall continually be in my mouth.

THANK YOU so very much for your attention and your support!!!
