This newly revised version of Roses in December offers compassion and encouragement to readers who are struggling with the loss of a loved one or helping a loved one cope. Marilyn Heavilin, having lost three sons, knows the tremendous sorrows and struggles that accompany the death of a loved one. She shares how even in the winters of our lives God provides roses - special people, special memories - to give us strength to persevere. This new addition also includes chapters on losing loved ones to suicide and AIDS.
