This wouldnt have been possible had it not been for those who died in the wake of the epidemic and for people like author Freda Wagman who gave her all to help others, while at the same time coming to grips with her own impending loss. In Snippets from the Trenches, Wagmana mother of a son diagnosed with AIDSshares her journey in the trenches during the darkest hours of the AIDS epidemic in Houston, Texas. She made the ultimate sacrifice in losing her only child to the disease. But in an effort to understand her sons illness and since 1,500 miles separated them, she embarked on a path of selfless service to help others who were often shunned by their own families. Beginning with a history of the evolution of AIDS, Snippets from the Trenches then tells a personal story of some of the people who suffered from and were lost to AIDS, as well as the angels who were there for them in their time of need.

Despite her years of volunteering, nothing prepares her for the loss of her son to the same disease she has watched take so many others.

Download or read book Behind Those Doors written by L.C. Hadit and published by Publishamerica Incorporated. This book was released on 2005-03-01 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a tragically sad but true story, Behind Those Doors captures the horror of a young girl facing incest, HIV/AIDS, family suicide, and her own ultimate death. This family went from having genuine and loving relationships to the deepest of emotional turmoil fueled by alcohol and lust. The diagnoses and death of a young teenage girl's mother due to cancer drove her father to be insanely attracted to whiskey and his daughter. These pages attempt to portray the physical and emotional pain Lia suffered as she carried the secrets of what truly happened behind the doors of the family home. In many long and personally shattering conversations with the author, the horror of this young girl's life becomes apparent. Often horrible physical, mental, and sexual abuse goes on "behind closed doors" due to the inertia of fear on the part of the victim, who is unable to help herself. Lia wanted others to know her story based on the hope that our schools, social services, medical, and legal system could more easily recognize the symptoms of a totally dysfunctional family and provide the help desperately needed in such situations. In the words of one editor, "Such a sad story is difficult understand, but these stories happen more often than society wishes to admit." The emotion of this story made it very difficult to write and maybe just as hard to read. Here it is.

Download or read book The Mothers Group written by Suzanne Loebl and published by ASJA Press. This book was released on 2006-11 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1983, many parents turned their backs on their children with AIDS, while a few rallied to their side. When the AIDS virus infected Suzanne Loebl's son David, she joined a support group that came to be known as the Mothers' Group. The book chronicles the lives of the members. We follow these mothers as they fiercely and tenderly stand by their children. The women quietly submerge their own grief, confront a hostile world, and deal with complex medical issues. Most of all they help their progeny enjoy whatever time they have left on earth and provide an anchor amidst fear and despair. However, when they come to their Tuesday night meetings, they let their terror, grief and frustration flow freely. The book is also a memoir to Suzanne's son David. It demonstrates how illness did not dim his exuberance and shows how one can be productive and happy even though the future may look dim. In addition, the book provides a snapshot of the gay world, transformed by AIDS-from its newly liberated, somewhat giddy post-Stonewall days to its sober sense of extra responsibility.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My Life Story is a powerful and inspiring message that will encourage, enrich any one in an abusive relationship seeking answers. Henrietta Trotter wrote Chapter 1-11 of her autobiography starting from the death of her mother at childbirth she says was God's first intervention. He saved her twin and herself. It showed God's Grace and Mercy when she sinned and fell short of His glory before she joined the Ministry. Her mother's name was Grace. Her story showed God's Grace and Mercy before she accepted her calling. Divine Intervention is divine instructions interceding and organizing your life by allowing you to overcome your fears. It's resilient proof that Love don't Hate and Hate don't Love. Life can be difficult. There always seems to be some obstacle or misfortune trying to offset the good. However, in those times this book wants people not to despair, but to relish God's love and strength, which this book reinforces. In this book Elder Trotter says, "My primary goal is to be used by God. This book reveals her quest for justice; chapter after chapter relates how she was attacked in different areas, but she learned how to withstand the storm that came without warning; this contributes to her success as she never excepted defeat," Trotter says." Job's secret was not his struggle; we all struggle. It was his endurance. This book introduces God's power and favor in every line and between every page it reveals His Glory! It confirms the promises made to Abraham that the seed shall be blessed. Elder Trotter wrote. She started writing just weeks after her brutal attack on October 20, 1991, but when she came to herself years later the land of milk and honey unfolded. She added." Writing my life story was a healing process for my deliverance".
