Butterfly Awakens by Meg Nocero is a non-fiction book that deals with grief and transformation about the loss of someone you love. Most of us want freedom and to overcome our grievances. I believe that this is what this book can offer.

It is true that journeying through grief and getting to the other side of the tunnel is easier said than done. I am happy the author employs various methods in the book, including poems.

Very inspiring! I love the bond of the mother and daughter. I am inspired of Meg' s story because I, myself was also bullied when I was in elementary and high school. I am also close with my mother and she is my best friend. I can feel her pain when she lost her mother and I am happy that she was able to write this book to share her journey from grief to transformation. Great book and will surely help those who are in the same boat like her.Congrats BOTD!

This book is a healing and inspiring book.this book has taught me how to be courageous through the journey of life because each time she confronts a hardship, emotionally or physically,she moves through it with a new insights,energy, and she continues on her courageous journey.

From the first chapter I was drawn in by her description of how her mother loves her.Her description of her mother's supportive love is a great guide for any woman wondering how to be a good mother.Though mourning her mother became a turning point in Meg's life.Her journey as she moves through the grief of losing her beloved mother is really heartbreaking.Her journey of discovering herself is truly inspirational.This book is an inspiring tribute to her beloved mother.I've learnt alot from this book and I'm really grateful to the author and God for making me to come across such book.Thank you so much

Meg courageously takes us to her 12yrs journey of transformation from a happy part of life, to a sad one with grief to the healing part. Just like a butterfly has several stages before setting free to the world, Meg reveals her life changes through various stages but her healing and accepting life must go on without her mother Mary sets her free like an adult butterfly. She encourages those undergoing grief and gives healing process. It's a read for everyone.

Thanks for this great review. I really appreciate the reviewer took the time to describe what is really special about the book. I am really curious which songs and which poems the author recommends and what the author's definition of freedom is.

Butterfly Awakens is a moving and well-written memoir where the author tells us about the time she lost a loved one and how she persevered even when she was completely broken emotionally.

At the begining of the sample, I was quite lost :? But when continuing reading I found a strong story of love and faith. And also of God. Here I saw I little girl who became stronger thank to the support of her mother anytime, even when she was a teen and used to fight against her to find her identity while she loved her and wanted to be like her. Also her past had make her strong enought but I think she didn't know that till the moment she faced the lost. I saw also a beautiful story of love for her mother and also faith because she was shaked in her faith by this situation that paralized her, I guess. It is like it is said that to really test our faith and love to God He put some situations in front of us to see how we manage and if we stayed believing in him. Her beloved mother was continuing believing in Him even if she was less and less confident about the therapy. Perhaps it gives her also the strenght to continue to believe in Him even if sometimees it was somewhat difficult.

Her story is reasoning in me because if we turn it to our reality, there are differents situations arriving to different people with different cultures and so on but with same feelings when it arrive same behaviors. I think this story resumes a pathway in the clinic of the death which has some parts like shock, refusal (which can be the beginning of a mental disease of the person can't move on), merchandise and after acceptance (and resilience).

Your review is really simple and help us, who learned only the sample, to understand the whole story. Thank you for this and good BOTD.
