A book about grief and loss which asks, and answers, the question, "What is it like to live in the mourning light?" In this, her second book, (but her first in audio format), Andrea Corrie tells more about her life following the loss of her much-loved 19-year-old son James to accidental drowning in the River Thames in 2005.

Living in the Mourning Light brings us from 2014 to the present. It stands alone as a book designed to broaden knowledge about the grieving process and need not be listened to as a sequel to Into the Mourning Light, which focused on the first eight years of loss. Andrea explores key themes familiar to anyone who mourns positively: She perceives as a gift the ability to explore the tenets of hope, love, light, faith resilience, and joy as they relate to the grieving process.

Contributors share their views, broadening the overall appeal of the book. Expect the unexpected; as Andrea relates how she came to recognise that for her, faith is a powerful tool for grief. Listen too, about the impact of her involvement with the RNLI, Fire and Rescue service, and other organisations. The message underpinning Andrea’s writing is always one of hope: The book will leave you feeling optimistic about the future, not despondent about the past. 

Living in the Mourning Light offers reassurance that you can return to joyful, meaningful living, despite the absence of your loved ones. The book contains a variety of reflections about our inner strength and innate ability to overcome the worse of situations. The book is read with warmth and empathy.
