Hugs Help: Our Story of Tragic Loss, Survival, and Helping Others

by Randy Stocker

Hugs Help shares the story of how Randy and his family survived the tragic deaths and unbearable grief brought about by the sudden loss of three family members to a distracted semi-truck driver on July 22, 2003.  His mother, Jean Stocker, and his two daughters, Jenelle-age 19, and Amy-age 9, all died immediately.  The book shares personal experiences and guidance for both grievers as well as their family and friends.  
Hugs

I have met Randy at our local Compassionate Friends meetings, his book is a reflection of his authentic self and shares his story and passion for helping others very realistically.
