Not my andrew
What happens when an ordinary Saturday changes a family forever?
In Not My Andrew Revised Edition, Bobbi Schlager Milne shares the heartbreaking true story of losing her ten-year-old son, Andrew, in a tragic accident and the long, painful journey that followed. Through raw honesty, powerful memories, and deeply personal reflections, she reveals what it truly means to survive the unimaginable loss of a child.
This moving grief memoir takes readers beyond the funeral and into the reality of life after loss—the sleepless nights, overwhelming guilt, shattered faith, strained family relationships, and the desperate search for hope. As Bobbi, her husband, and daughter struggle to rebuild their lives, they discover support through bereavement communities, faith, friendship, and the enduring power of love.
More than a story of tragedy, this is a powerful healing after child loss journey that offers comfort to anyone navigating grief, mourning, or the death of a loved one. Through personal experiences, heartfelt letters, and lessons learned over nearly four decades, Bobbi provides a compassionate reminder that while grief never truly disappears, healing and hope remain possible.
