Stairway to Heaven: Grandma Has Gone Home is a heartwarming, reflective, and reassuring story that chronicles one child's experience with the loss of a beloved grandparent. In this experience, Molly has lots of questions. Molly's desire to make sense of her world without her grandma brings to light the reality that life is short and that there will never be a right time to say goodbye to a loved one. Lost in her world and making some sense of why our loved ones leave, she finds that there is a shimmering light of hope. Molly is better able to make sense of this difficult time by piecing together her memories of what it was like when Grandma was around. She begins to understand that her memories are what will carry her throughout the rest of her life as she learns to accept that Grandma will no longer be an integral part of it. Better yet, she learns that Grandma will be a constant and permanent memory that will remain in her heart forever.
