MOURNING HAS BROKEN

On the morning of May 11th, 2015, Erin Davis, one of Canada's most beloved radio personalities, suffered a devastating blow when her daughter Lauren, who had marked a joyous Mother's Day with her husband and young son only hours before, failed to awaken to her baby's cries.

Thus began Davis' journey of grieving out loud with her family, friends, and listeners, and of demonstrating by example how to pick up and keep going after suffering the worst loss a parent can endure.
For months after Lauren's heart stopped beating, the reason for which the coroner said might never be known, Erin would awaken from a restless night's sleep and look at the clock wondering, Is this the time she died? How could a mother sleep through the night when a part of herself had been torn from this life? How did my heart not stop too?

ERIN DAVIS is the former co-host of the popular radio show Erin & Darren in the Morning and has been on the radio for almost 30 years. She also hosted the television talk show, W Live with Erin Davis, on W Network. Mourning Has Broken is her first book.
