Hugs from Heaven

Losing your child is devastating, making it seem impossible to remember how to function or even breathe properly. Knowing that the Lord understands and empathizes with your pain and grief can offer the peace and comfort desperately needed to move forward. This journey of overcoming your sorrow will not be easy or quick, but you are never alone and always loved.

HUGS FROM HEAVEN: Walks on the Beach with Brian by Janice Avery St. Cyr is an emotional and powerful compilation of the letters Janice wrote the year following the death of her son Brian. With simple yet poignant words, Janice pours her heart out, speaking directly to Brian in each letter to release all the things left unsaid. As the weeks and months pass, her wound remains, but the pain slowly weakens.

By sharing these touching letters, Janice hopes to help others who are enduring the heartbreaking effects of losing a loved one. She urges readers to discover the love that our Father has for all His children, especially when they are mourning, and understand that joy can be found again by seeking His presence and reading His Word. Time will not cure, but trusting in Jesus and releasing the hurt can guide you on the path toward healing.

Janice Avery St. Cyr grew up in New Hampshire but now resides on the coast of Southern Maine with her husband of forty-six years. Together, they have four grown children and three grandchildren. A retired elementary school teacher, Janice is currently the pianist and organist at her local church, and she also teaches piano lessons. She loves the beauty of nature and wildlife and aims to capture it in her photography, which can be found at jansoulart.com.
