Imagine Emma
A father's grief journey
by
Rick Johnston
Every year, 2,200 families in Canada experience the loss of a child under the age of fifteen. Twenty-five years after the sudden death of his two-year-old daughter, Emma, Rick Johnston has written Imagine Emma: A Father’s Grief Journey as a life-affirming book to support other parents who have joined the “fraternity of the unthinkable.” Written in straightforward, easy-to-follow language, Johnston offers guidance, comfort, and hope to parents during a time when the grief of losing a child feels completely overwhelming. Key to Johnston’s learnings is that the heart and the mind often follow their own, separate timelines. Each person will experience this journey differently. Imagine Emma concludes with suggestions for how to honour your lost child in ways that will keep their memory alive and fill you with more deep love and joy than you might think possible.
Rick Johnston is the father of four daughters: Kasia, Amanda, Melanie, and Emma. He lives in Toronto with his wife, Frances. Rick is active in his community and wanted to share his grief journey to hopefully help others. A special thank you to his fellow real estate agents who helped create the Emma Johnston Memorial fund through Kingsway Lambton United Church. For over 25 years the fund has helped local children and young adults with camp experiences, sports activities and education.
