about where people go when they pass away
NEWPORT
BEACH, Calif., Aug. 5, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Once a model and PlayBoy Bunny,
author Yvonne Riley Bonadio
decided to follow Christ wholeheartedly during the "Jesus
Revolution" of the 70's. After marrying and becoming a mother of
two daughters, her love for her children and faith blended as she
began writing children's books. However, it wasn't until her
daughter Yvette passed away from a vehicle accident in 2000, that
she began to find comfort in picturing her in heaven by writing and
publishing her new book, "A Letter from Heaven."
"It's essential for parents to feel
comfortable, while navigating these tough conversations, as it
helps children process their emotions and understand the realities
of loss and the importance of God's love and timing."
Based on the personal reflections on Bonadio's life during her
first stages of grieving, the story offers hope and a path for
parents and loved ones, after the loss of a child. She describes
how she envisions her daughter's arrival in heaven and what she
does while there, in the form of a love letter, from daughter to
mother.
"Since the loss of my almost eleven-year-old daughter," Bonadio
said. "I began to find comfort in picturing her in heaven and
wanted to share how I imagine her living out her life there.
Additionally, the descriptions of heaven in my book are based on
scriptures found in the Bible."
From a mother's heart, Bonadio shares how God may showed up to
comfort and give hope during the most different stages of grief.
She believes that her pain has given her a new perspective on life;
a perspective she thinks is a part of her daughter's legacy and
love for her. She encourages grieving parents and families to
picture their loved ones living new, peaceful lives in heaven.
"I want to share the hope of Heaven and discuss loss openly and
compassionately with their loved ones and children," Bonadio said.
"It's essential for parents to feel comfortable, while navigating
these tough conversations, as it helps children process their
emotions and understand the realities of loss and the importance of
God's love and timing."
