One Mother’s Journey Through Loss, Love, and Forever.
I never imagined how hard it would be to walk this journey again from the beginning. Every second from September 8 to November 21 plays in my mind.
I still feel his hand on my face as he said, “Mom, I’m going to die.” He made me promise to take his ashes around the world, but deep down, I don’t think he meant for me to let go.
Carol Young
About The Author
I have always loved writing, and it was a way of processing things happening in my life. Being overly sensitive to the world around me and growing up being alone quite often, I wrote. After I got married, I just stopped writing for years and it wasn’t until 2001 that for some strange reason I started again and didn’t seem to have enough time to put down everything in my thoughts and so it continued to this day. When my youngest son and best friend died within two months of his diagnoses I was in total denial and shock.
It seemed unreal. It still seems unreal and even today I will think of calling him, but I can’t. I had no one to talk to and everyone professionally wanted to include God in the conversation and to me as his mother it was not about God. I came here out of my grief with no one to understand and so this book came about.
Born of Her Body, Carried by Her Soul.
About Carol Young
She gave him life; in return, he gave her a love that would outlast time. This is not just a story of loss; it’s a story of eternal connection. Through grief, memory, and every quiet moment, he walks with her still. Because some bonds begin before birth… and never truly end.
Holding On Through Every Word
Walk With Me is not just a memoir; it’s a mother’s soul laid bare. In these raw pages, Carol Young writes through the unimaginable: the loss of her beloved son, Leslie. What began as scattered journal entries became a lifeline to speak to him, cry with him, and carry him forward. From bedside memories to ashes scattered across oceans, this book is a deeply human attempt to keep love alive. Walk With Me is a quiet, honest companion for anyone who’s lost deeply.

A MOTHERS PROMISE
I didn’t realize how difficult it would be to relive this journey again from the beginning. I visualized every second of every day from September 8th to November 21, 2022, and I can still feel his hand on my cheek saying, “Mom I am going to die” then making me promise to take his ashes all over the world. I don’t think he meant for me to leave them. That is the choice I made on my own and continue to keep my promise with the help of many people to this day. As of today, he is in Japan again and in August he leaves for Africa. I will continue until there are no more ashes. When the wind blows, I hope there are pieces of him touching me and everyone that loved him too.
