Mary Jane Hurley Brant's "When Every Day Matters" examines an extremely personal journey of struggle, hope, profound loss and a mother's bereavement. Brant's journal entries of the days following the passing of her daughter, Katie, are juxtaposed with details of Katie's harrowing struggle with brain cancer. The book also delves into the early teenage years of Brant, exposing the pain of losing her father to suicide.
Brant holds nothing back in her chronicle of a decade-long, life-altering crisis. She poignantly shares sentiments only a mother would know, from the sacred space of losing a child. From Katie's diagnosis in her freshman year of college, through excruciating brain surgeries and treatment, attempts to find "normal" in continuing storms, and a family's resolve to never quit, Brant reveals the passion of a family struggling to save their child.
"When Every Day Matters" takes a microscopic look at the heart of parental grief, a reality that every parent hopes to never experience. But, for a variety of reasons, many parents outlive their offspring. The remaining question, "What now?" often rings hollow. Brant's book provides a brave insight into daring to face tomorrow, finding life again, and learning to honor a lost child.
