Loving Satish - Parenting a Dying Child

                                                               “There is always hope.” Devi Ahru

When human beings experience trauma or severe life stresses, it is not common for their lives to truly, unravel in the most unpredictable of ways. In an ordinary course of events, most parents would not expect to outlive their own children. But when a child does precede them in death, it shatters a parent’s assumptive world and bring them to their knees. It is singlehandedly the most devastating experience a parent can ever face and missing the child never goes away. A piece of themselves is forever lost and their future is irrevocably changed. What more, that of a mother?

Devi Ahru is the promising new voice for bereaved parents who have lost their child. She writes her heart out in this intimate and intensely personal memoir entitled, Loving Satish: How to Parent A Dying Child with a desire to connect and provide other parents a healing voice to their pain. The memoir offers readers a window into her complex and emotionally journey across the 2 and half years of caring Satish, her third child to terminal disease that would change her life forever.

 Masterfully written and beautifully crafted, it also offers readers an expansive and thoughtful guidance on how to look beyond what is lost forever. The result is a well-grounded memoir that reaches across the boundaries of life’s unpredictability and the fragility, as well as the strength of a mother’s heart.

Meet Devi Ahru, a writer, speaker and grief advocate who provides solace and support for mothers who are grieving. She is the author of Loving Satish: How to Parent A Dying Child as well as the most anticipated fully illustrated children’s book entitled When I Miss My Brother; a guide to help young children overcome the pain of losing a sibling, later this year.

She has a formidable record of book sales on Amazon.com with stellar 5 star ratings given by readers and customers who read the memoir. Her story and her experience have been widely featured across multiple media channels in Singapore; like Vasantham Channel’s Achaimillai Achaimillai as well as Oli 96.8 FM. When she is not writing, teaching, or healing hearts, you can find Devi making every moment count with her beautiful 2 children and her loving husband.
