Finding Comfort in Meaningful Coincidences After Loss of a Loved One 
An Author Reading &amp; Discussion with Sue Stoll
 
I'm Still Here: Three Moments, One Message is a true story inspired by three deeply personal 
experiences the author had following the loss of her mother—moments that seemed to reach 
beyond ordinary coincidence and left her with a profound sense of comfort and connection. 
Following a brief reading, Sue Stoll will lead an open discussion exploring a question 
many people quietly ask after losing someone they love: Can we still feel their love in 
ways we may never fully understand—and yet find comfort in those experiences?
 
Participants are invited to share their own stories and reflections, or simply listen as the group 
explores life's quieter mysteries in a welcoming, respectful setting. As a former NYC medical 
illustrator and founder of a Ridgewood art school, Sue brings both sensitivity and insight to 
this meaningful conversation.
 
Editorial Review: “A luminous, deeply moving meditation on love that transcends death. 
It speaks to anyone who has experienced loss—without veering into sentimentality or overt 
spirituality. It also resonates with thoughtful readers who enjoy exploring life’s mysteries, 
intriguing coincidences, and the quiet ways love shapes our lives. It leaves a comforting, 
thought-provoking afterglow—a gem with wide, lasting appeal.” —Retired NYC publisher
