Molly Rubesh, a mom and stepmom in Kentucky, was helping her stepsons through grief when her own father passed away — and found a way to share comfort for all through a new children's book.
The boys' mom, named April, was only 35 years old. The boys were ages 9 and 5 at the time of their mother's death, said Rubesh. She said she found herself now raising two little boys whowhile she was also raising her own two biological children from an earlier marriage.
Given the time of year, the children knew that"Santa was coming, and that the elves were coming — so our five-year-old really wanted to understand where his mommy was," said Rubesh."And at that time, I didn't really have an answer" for his question.She then found herself facing the devastating loss of her own father.As she reflected on it, she found herself, just a few years after that, facing the devastating loss of her own father, in the spring of 2022.
Molly Rubesh, based near Louisville, Kentucky, said she recognized that"heaven is all around us. [And] the special person we love never leaves our side." She set out to tell a story and to help others through loss. for both her own family and for other people who might be dealing with grief — and who might take comfort from her messages and story. The title, she said, was going to be exactly what her stepson asked her:"Is Heaven Farther than the North Pole?"
And"I think he's just so appreciative that the boys have a mom today and that all those little touches that a mom brings to their life — it's an everlasting gift."
