"There is no one and nothing that can break the bond between a mother and her sons!" These are the words that Phil brought to me in the middle of the night. It will never cease to amaze me how my son still communicates from the other side. It's as if he knows just what I need, when I need it. If you've ever felt a heart ache so intense that you thought your heart may just fly right out of your chest...If you've ever known grief so unimaginable that your mind can't comprehend what's happening...If you've ever known the unexplainable pain of losing a child...Then you know the longing to talk to them, to see them, to hug them, just one more time... Are you receiving signs, messages and dream visits from your child? What are they trying to tell you? Is there really life after death? Do our souls really continue on? Perhaps, some of these questions and more will be answered for you here; in this is true story of one mother's journey through the most intense pain any parent has ever had to endure...It's a journey through self-discovery, strength and courage. The courage to live life, when the most unimaginable loss has happened.

This book approaches the topic of the subjective, lived experience of hate crime from the perspective of Husserlian phenomenology. It provides an experientially well-grounded account of how and what is experienced as a hate crime, and what this reveals about ourselves as the continually reconstituted ¿subject¿ of such experiences. The book shows how qualitative social science methods can be better grounded in philosophically informed theory and methodological practices to add greater depth and explanatory power to experiential approaches to social sciences topics. The Authors also highlight several gaps and contradictions within Husserlian analyses of prejudice, which are exposed by attempts to concretely apply this approach to the field of hate crimes.Coverage includes the difficulties in providing an empathetic understanding of expressions of harmful forms of prejudice underlying hate crimes, including hate speech, arising from our own and others¿ ¿life worlds¿. The Authors describe a ¿Husserlian-based¿ view of hate crime as well as a novel interpretation of the value of the comprehensive methodological stages pioneered by Husserl. The intended readership includes those concerned with discrimination and hate crime, as well as those involved in qualitative research into social topics in general. The broader content level makes this work suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate students, even professionals within law enforcement.
