A Thousand Pounds: Finding the Strength to Live and Love under the Weight of Unbearable Loss

Brianne Edwards

Brianne Edwards is the founder of Lach’s Legacy, a South Dakota nonprofit working to support those who are grieving the unexpected loss of an infant. Her work has been featured by Her View From Home, Scary Mommy, and Praying Through Child Loss. Inspired by her personal experience of profound loss, she has found her ministry in accompanying other families in their grief, coming to the table with a Bachelor’s in Psychology, a Master’s degree as a Physician Assistant, and a Compassionate Bereavement Care Certification. She is the mother of 6, married to her high school sweetheart, nestled in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota.

This is a memoir and grief companion. It is the author's story of the death of her son and her journey through the most unbearable grief to a life that once again felt living. It is a story of both intense sorrow and profound hope and love.

Adults, ages 20-50. Would expect more women readers, but also would like the cover to appeal to men.
