And Yet, I Rise: My Journey Through Grief After Losing My Mother (And Yet I Rise Again)CHRISTINE BASTIENPaperbackHow do you continue living when the person who gave you life is no longer there? In And Yet I Rise Again, Christine Bastien shares her deeply personal journey through the loss of her mother, Marie Yolène Lafortune Bastien. After years of medical emergencies, hospital visits, and prayers for healing, one devastating phone call changed Christine's life forever. Far from her mother, she faced the heartbreak of losing her without the chance to hold her hand or say one final goodbye. As the world continued around her, Christine struggled with grief, anxiety, unanswered questions, and the pressure to appear strong. She also faced a difficult question: How could she move forward without the woman who had always guided her? With honesty and faith, Christine recounts the memories that shaped her, the pain she carried in silence, and the small moments that helped her find hope again. Through prayer, writing, family, and her creative work, she began learning how to live with loss while honoring her mother's love. This memoir explores: * The heartbreak of losing a mother * Grief when you cannot say goodbye * The pressure to stay strong for others * Faith, doubt, and finding comfort in God * Healing through memories, writing, and purpose * Continuing life without forgetting someone you love And Yet I Rise Again is for anyone grieving a parent or loved one, especially those who feel alone in their pain. Christine's story offers companionship, encouragement, and a reminder that healing takes time. Moving forward does not mean forgetting. You can carry love and grief together, find reasons to smile again, and choose to keep living. Even after loss, you can rise again.
