Product Description

Synopsis

Snapshots is the heart-wrenching, intimate story of love and strength of a religious Jewish family, where the oldest son has suddenly died. This is a devoted father's memoir, who although stricken with unimaginable grief, has written in the spirit of celebration of the life of his beautiful son, Benjamin. The author's words are honest and candid, as he shares family history and relays with impact, the untimely death of his beloved son. A 'straightforward-deep-from-the-heart-and-soul read.' For anyone who has lost, or is going through the loss of a loved one, you must read this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Recreating Through Absence, 20 Jan 2008
Snapshots In Memory of Ben is for every person-an honest account of a loving, sensitive father and his heartbreak. What Alan has taught us is: While each person deals with death in his own way,one never "gets over the loss", but we can make it a little easier to continue our lives if we can recreate the relationship in the absence of our loved one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hit Close To Home, 14 Jan 2008

I finished reading Snapshots and just want to commend you on what a terrific job you did in many areas. By the time I finished reading it I felt like I knew Ben very well, in spite of the fact that I never met him. You also did a great job in describing the pain that continues long after the loss. As I read the book I got the sense that Ben affected the course of your life just as much as you affected the course of his, long before that tragic day in November. Snapshots gave me a good sense of your parenting experience, not just with Ben, but with the entire family. This book was very powerful on many levels.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shallow Waters Run Deep, 14 Jan 2008
How can one describe a book as beautiful which tells the story of a child's brief life and death as seen through the eyes and windows of the soul of a father? Yet this book is beautiful. If you have lost a child---then you understand how impoverished and pathetic my words are. I picked it up and read it, standing still, transfixed. It is a quick read---only 20 minutes.

Once, long ago, I hiked through a thick forest and stumbled upon a quiet, serene pool---its waters, crystal clear. It was hidden by trees and I somehow knew that I could never find it again in a 1,000 years of searching. The day was very hot, and I was weary. I waded in and discovered that it was far, far deeper than I had imagined for such a tiny pond. This book is like that pool: it is a slim volume----but its pages are far deeper than I would have ever imagined. The author is a religious Jew, and the spectrum of his sorrow is seen through the prism of his Judaism. But it does not matter: the loss of a child is a universal, private hell from which none of us truly ever escape.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read for All Parents
It must be one of the hardest things in the world to lose a child, and it's something that I could never begin to imagine. I learned a lot from Alan Busch's memoir...... Read more
