Can a Mother Die of a Broken Heart?

"Marion Sadler's very personal glimpse at the darker aspects of the life cycle will touch the reader, perhaps even sound an alarm, evoking a sense of urgency toward living life to the fullest while we have it."

Harvey Stanbrough, Pulitzer Nominee
"Through the pen and tears of this mother, we forge a priceless relationship in anonymity. Sadler shares out loud the prayers and innermost thoughts of mothers and fathers everywhere when tragedy strikes. I do not want to read these poems again. I do not want to know the pain. But I will....do both. And I will cry and I will find life and healing... at least for my soul."

Laura Boyd, Ph. D., Family Counselor
"Sadler is aware we need to cry, we need to talk, we need to write about it... we need to get it out and deal with our grief. We just have to figure out our own way, what works for us."
Leah Simmons, Ardmoriete Front Page Story, Sept. 9, 2002

Sadler has published recently in "From the Heart," by Coastal Villages Press, and in "A Trip Down Memory Lane," The International Library of Photography. Two essays included here won honorable mention from Byline Magazine.
