Celebration of Sisters: It Is Never Too Late To Grieve
Hi everyone,
To honor Jane’s and Margie’s birthdays this month, November 6th and 8th, I am offering five signed copies of my book, “Celebration of Sisters.”
Losing two sisters forever changed her. There is no one like a sister. Judy Lipson will remain the middle of three sisters.
At a tender age of 25, Judy faced the loss of her younger sister Jane in an automobile accident, and nine years later the loss of her older sister Margie after a 20-year battle with anorexia and bulimia. Who was Judy now without her sisters? Margie and Jane were her anchors. Judy suppressed the grief for thirty years and speed through the next three decades taking care of family.
In 2011, Judy took the journey to grieve, one of the most challenges pieces of her life, but the best gift she gave herself. Skating remained the chord pulling her full circle to her beloved sisters in a sport they shared, and the happiest memories. To honor Margie and Jane, Judy founded Celebration of Sisters, an annual ice-skating fundraiser benefiting Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. Gliding on the smooth ice surface, Judy feels Margie and Jane with her, whispering in her ear, as she performs saying, “You’ve got this.” The shy middle sister is performing before a large audience.
This is a story of love, grief, sisters, and honoring our cherished ones.
Reviews:
An Honest, Compelling, Helpful Story
Celebration of Sisters stands out from other grief books and for good reasons. The sub-title, “It Is Never Too Late to Grieve,” a quote from the author, gives a clear indication of the content. Each chapter begins with a memory, followed by Lipson’s narrative, which makes the book easy to follow. But it’s the range of topics that impressed me most: delayed grief, complicated grief, personalities, physical/mental illnesses, and family relationships. After her two beloved sisters died, Lipson “retreated into silence, shut down, and stopped talking to others. This became my pattern.” If you’re grieving, this is the book to read—honest, compelling, and helpful. Thanks for writing it Judy.
