I thought I had the perfect world, a chrisitan woman, wife, mother of 3 beautiful daughters, 2 handsome sons, new grandmother, with the blink of an eye I was as helpless as a child,struggling,trying to survive the despicable act of murder.
I dreamed of being a many things in my life, never a grieving mother.
I am the author of an exceptional non-fiction book titled " A Silent Scream".
In A Silent Scream I relived the night that changed my life forever, the violent murder of my nineteen year old son, my best friend in the world.
Will My Morning Ever Come is a phenomenal and genuine authentication of how amazing God's mercy is when you follow His path. Through my divine walk of faith I stumble upon countless barriers that I could not have conquered without Him. God sent me through the storm; I found the faith to calm it. God put high mountains in my path; my faith moved them. God sent me from a home to homelessness and I made it. This book will inspire you, give you strength, build your faith and make you appreciate the compassion of a loving and merciful God.
A Silent Scream In her book A Silent Scream author and entrepreneur Patricia Yarbrough shares the pain and heartache that a grieving mother suffers through after the loss of a child. Despite her outwardly successful life, the thoughts that her son her friend gone forever piloted Patricia on a self-destructive journey. In a declining state of health, Patricia's anguish over her sons death propagated her loss from one son to a husband and four other children. "Grieving is hard enough, to have to do it alone is even harder. As it is you feel no one understands how you feel, no cares", says Patricia. The book was painful to write, and even though it took her six years to complete, Patricia was compelled and obligated for her story to be heard. When asked about the title, Patricia said, "When you lose a child, especially to murder, the intense pain (grief) it hurts so bad deep down in your heart, and can last a lifetime. Everyone tells you it's time to move on, that you should be over your loss. So you hide your grief (scream) inside".
When someone is murdered, the death comes without warning. A parent might watch a game with a child on a Sunday afternoon -- and then never see or hold or speak to that child again. Each member of a family is likely to grieve differently, creating a potential for conflict. Siblings of the victim may feel neglected by their parents or suddenly overprotected. Spouses may be unable to give each other support when it is needed most.
Hundreds of books have been published that follow murderers along their paths of destruction. And yet just a handful of books have looked at murder from the victim’s survivors perspective. A Silent Scream pays homage to the survivors.
I went from having everything to having nothing, believing one day my dream would come true.
I wanted more than anything in the world to have my book published, I felt I had something to share with the world.
I had survived after the murder of my son.
I received a contract in May 2007, by July 2007, I was homeless.
I cried I couldn't understand, I had just received a contract and now I am homeless.
I refused to give up on my dream. My family told me to come back home, I said no.
