Surviving Ryan

Thank you Pam Ferguson for finding a way to give to others, even in your most difficult pain and devastation. This book explains everything that a family had to go through with the death of their son (brother, grandson, nephew, friend, etc.) - written from the perspective of a loving mother. I found this book to be so helpful, in the way that I will relate to people in the future, after the loss of a loved one. Everyone should read this book, and always remember to say "I love you" to important family and friends.

A book every parent should read. A story of an extraordinary family and how they coped with losing a young member of the family. Exploring the raw emotions each member of the family felt and how each individually and collectively as a family used their faith and family bonds to survive.

Pam Ferguson has a tremendous amount of courage and compassion to write the story of Ryan and their families ability to cope with his death. Their family morales and values are so strong that they will always be survivors in any circumstance. As we travel the journey of life we will lose our loved ones along the way, this is part of the cycle. I lost a love one close to me and I didn't talk about for a long time. Thank you Pam for helping me open my eyes and my heart. Your story has given me the insite to help deal with this loss.

A book of this type is long overdue. Pam Ferguson really puts herself out there. My hat's off to her for the strength and courage it took to complete this book with so much passion and integrity. After reading Surviving Ryan, I have a much better understanding of the feelings I've been going through since losing someone very close to me. It's nice to know these feelings of loss resulting from tragedy really are normal under the circumstances. Thank you, Pam for writing this book!
