This audio version of Dear Mama in the Darkness, as read by the author, is truly a "Light in the Darkness" for anyone going through something difficult. Hearing these letters, (organized topically, not chronologically) will move you even if you don't relate to specifics. Life is HARD, but we can learn to THRIVE rather than just survive — and we can laugh while doing it!

In Dear Mama in the Darkness, Hilary Camille Thompson, CLC, is hoping parents find encouragement, hope, inspiration, compassion, and perhaps a new perspective that will help them to see the challenge of raising a medically complex child in a different light. It can help anyone see their hardships in a different light.

Hilary’s unique, refreshingly simple, practical, and inspiring approach to their family’s situation has blessed her with the ability to serve adults and teens’ across the country in her online mental health coaching practice. Mama to two great kids, (one on her second heart), she remains a tireless advocate for medical families in her “spare time,” and is now an international best-selling author. The letters in Dear Mama in the Darkness were written over a period of eleven years, as a testament to the tools she found that enabled her to find joy, even when things were hard; to become better, not bitter.

No one has to live in the Darkness alone. Hilary is here to sit with you in it…and she’s brought a lantern (and a hot latte).
