VANCOUVER, B.C. — In the quiet corners of memory, amidst the shadows of loss, there often lie hidden treasures waiting to be discovered. For Louise Dupont, author of “Hidden Treasures” (IBSN: 978-0228876014; Tellwell Publishing), the journey to uncover these gems began with a simple photograph – a snapshot of her son.
“The inspiration for Hidden Treasures came from seeing the picture of my son juggling with fire,” reflects Dupont. “One day as I was looking at the picture, it came to mind that a book would be written about this.”
Yet, it wasn’t until she stumbled upon a childhood story penned by her son, nestled among his graduation pictures, that the vision for her book began to crystallize.
“As I read his story I was taken aback by the symbolic messages found in it… I was very comforted by the idea of the ghost made of light that guided my son through the storm and brought him safely home,” Dupont shares, her words echoing the poignant themes woven into her son’s narrative.
The tale, titled “Lost in the Storm,” resonated deeply with Dupont and those who encountered its profound symbolism. “Sure enough – people were quite surprised that such a young person could have written this very meaningful story,” she reflects.
With a sense of purpose ignited within her, Dupont embarked on a mission to share her son’s story with a wider audience. “Surely the messages contained in this story were not just for my eyes alone,” she muses.
Drawing from her own experience of navigating the tumultuous waters of grief and loss, Dupont endeavored to infuse “Hidden Treasures” with a sense of hope and healing. “Since suicide is such a traumatic experience for everyone involved I really wanted the book to be uplifting and healing in nature,” she explains.
Guided by words of solace received in sympathy cards and driven by a desire to bring attention to the important topics of suicide and mental health, Dupont meticulously curated every aspect of the book, from its soothing design to the inclusion of children’s drawings and healing colors.
“My goal was to create a soothing and peaceful experience for the reader – even though the subject is such a difficult one,” she shares.
As “Hidden Treasures” prepares to make its debut, Dupont remains hopeful that her book will serve as a beacon of light for those traversing the labyrinth of grief and healing.
“This endeavor turned out to be my way of bringing attention to the important topics of suicide and mental health issues,” she reflects. “I am hopeful that the public will want to explore these themes with me.”
In “Hidden Treasures,” Louise Dupont invites readers to embark on a journey of discovery, where pain gives way to healing, and the shadows yield to the light of hope.
