Sukey Forbes is the author of THE ANGEL IN MY POCKET: A Story of Love, Loss, and Life After Death. It is the profoundly moving and inspiring story of a mother’s unconventional path to healing after the death of her young daughter. Told with unflinching honesty and hard-won wisdom, Forbes’s memoir is a powerful story of one woman’s decision to embrace life in the face of tragic loss. With open-minded skepticism and a tenacious determination, Forbes seeks answers to questions such as “where did she go?” and “How do I go on?” Her story is a must read for anyone for whom life has taken a turn that left them unsure of how or even if they could move forward.
Sukey Forbes found further kinship with the philosophies and writings of her great-great-great grandfather Ralph Waldo Emerson, whose son—like Charlotte—died at age six.
Sukey lectures on resilience and embracing life after loss. She has been interviewed and/or featured on ABC, WGBH, NPR, LA Talk Radio, Open to Hope, Worth Magazine, The Chicago Tribune, The Boston Globe, Boston Magazine and eHarmony (partial list)
