Press Release Summary: Murder is a despicable act, but can the act itself pale in
comparison to the aftermath forced upon a grieving mother? How long, after the
death of your child, before you begin to lose everything, including your sanity, and
does it even matter?


Press Release Body: For Immediate Release

Alpharetta, Ga-In her book A Silent Scream author and entrepreneur Patricia
Yarbrough shares the pain and heartache that a grieving mother suffers through after
the loss of a child. Despite her outwardly successful life, the thoughts that her
son her friend gone forever piloted Patricia on a self-destructive journey. In a
declining state of health, Patricia's anguish over her sons death propagated her
loss from one son to a husband and four other children.

"Grieving is hard enough, to have to do it alone is even harder. As it is you feel
no one understands how you feel, no cares", says Patricia.

The book was painful to write, and even though it took her six years to complete,
Patricia was compelled and obligated for her story to be heard. When asked about
the title, Patricia said, "When you lose a child, especially to murder, the intense
pain (grief) it hurts so bad deep down in your heart, and can last a lifetime.
Everyone tells you it's time to move on, that you should be over your loss. So you
hide your grief (scream) inside".

When someone is murdered, the death comes without warning. A parent might watch a
game with a child on a Sunday afternoon -- and then never see or hold or speak to
that child again. Each member of a family is likely to grieve differently, creating
a potential for conflict. Siblings of the victim may feel neglected by their
parents or suddenly overprotected. Spouses may be unable to give each other support
when it is needed most.

Hundreds of books have been published that follow murderers along their paths of
destruction. And yet just a handful of books have looked at murder from the
victim\'s survivors perspective. A Silent Scream pays homage to the survivors.

Patricia A. Yarbrough is a highly sought-after speaker for grief support
organizations. After several successful years as a Healthcare Manager, Patricia
decided to follow her passion and write full-time. For additional information
