<p>Finding Comfort in Meaningful Coincidences After Loss of a Loved One<br>
An Author Reading &amp; Discussion with Sue Stoll</p>
<p><br>
I'm Still Here: Three Moments, One Message is a true story inspired by three deeply personal<br>
experiences the author had following the loss of her mother—moments that seemed to reach<br>
beyond ordinary coincidence and left her with a profound sense of comfort and connection.<br>
Following a brief reading, Sue Stoll will lead an open discussion exploring a question<br>
many people quietly ask after losing someone they love: Can we still feel their love in<br>
ways we may never fully understand—and yet find comfort in those experiences?</p>
<p><br>
Participants are invited to share their own stories and reflections, or simply listen as the group<br>
explores life's quieter mysteries in a welcoming, respectful setting. As a former NYC medical<br>
illustrator and founder of a Ridgewood art school, Sue brings both sensitivity and insight to<br>
this meaningful conversation.</p>
<p><br>
Editorial Review: “A luminous, deeply moving meditation on love that transcends death.<br>
It speaks to anyone who has experienced loss—without veering into sentimentality or overt<br>
spirituality. It also resonates with thoughtful readers who enjoy exploring life’s mysteries,<br>
intriguing coincidences, and the quiet ways love shapes our lives. It leaves a comforting,<br>
thought-provoking afterglow—a gem with wide, lasting appeal.” —Retired NYC publisher</p>
