A 9/11 Mother's Journey of Grief

In A 9-11 Mother’s Journey of Grief, author Rebecca Lester Lightbourn replays the events surrounding her families’ experience in the aftermath of the September 11th terrorist attack on the Pentagon. Their search and ultimate recovery of the author’s daughter, Samantha, serves as a poignant tribute to a woman with a twin sister and two children of her own. In the after effects, the family suffered not only indescribable grief, but hardship, betrayal and a custody battle of their daughter’s children. Highlighting the need for all families to make provisions—especially when there are young children’s welfares at stake—the author’s message is clear: create a last will and testament so there is no question as to your wishes in regard for your children and possessions.
