Life is But a Dream: a book written by Christine Neligan (non-Executive Director of the Oasis School of Human Relations) is being launched on Thursday 24th November at Oasis, Hall Mews, Boston Spa, near Wetherby from 6 to 8 pm. A further event on Thursday 1st December entitled Meet the Author is also planned at the same venue and time.
The evening will be a chance to hear the author being interviewed about her book by Sophie McCandlish (News Editor of Ripon Gazette) as well as being an opportunity to socialise with Chris’ family, friends and colleagues.
Chris says: “My daughter Abi died in 1984. She was the youngest of our four children and aged almost three when she died very suddenly. My book explores the effect of losing Abi on our family. I began writing the book as a way of remembering Abi, hoping it would be helpful for our family. I then realised that perhaps it could be helpful for other people who were experiencing bereavement. The book explores the impact on the whole family of the loss of Abi. I believe it is a truthful and honest account of the isolation of bereavement, even for a close-knit family with a supportive network of friends and relatives.”
Chris intends the evening to be a further celebration of Abi’s life and the strong impression she made during her short life. Coincidentally the evening is the anniversary of the celebration meeting we held after she died.
RSVP as soon as possible as places are limited for both events: samantha@oasishumanrelations.org.uk
