Author Description

Lachlan March was a gifted child, a high-achieving teenager, a promising university student and a much-loved friend, brother and son. At the age of twenty-one, whilst attending a Bible study with friends, Lachlan collapsed and was rushed to hospital. Tragically, he died soon afterwards, and it seemed no one could answer the most pressing question - why? Lachlan's family was plunged into a storm of intense emotions and grief that tested their resolve, their relationships, and at times even their faith. Jillian March writes with honesty and tenderness about the loss of Lachlan, and the impact his death had on her and those who loved him. She describes in detail her grief process, opening pathways of faith and optimism for others who must also make the journey. Left At The Gate is both a warm memoir and a practical handbook for those facing loss of a loved one, and also for anyone wishing to care for and support the bereaved.
