What are the
Essays on Facing Grief?
The Essays on
Facing Grief are a
first-person story
the story of
dealing with the
loss of a spouse.
Some are a journal, some are
insights into the pain while others
are stories of the daily anguish of
living with grief. They reveal the
innermost struggles that are
a part of every day.
But most of all, they are a
tribute to the one who was
everything. Through each
essay, they tell not only a grief
story - but also a love story.
A story that transcends
almost 50 years.
If you are living with the loss of a
spouse - our prayer is that these
essays may provide a small bit of
comfort as you navigate each day.
For those of you brave enough
to enter this world, the essays
will help you understand what
we are going through.
How none of us
no matter what
side of grief
we are on
know what to do
and how we are
strengthened by
each drop of
empathy and
compassion
that is shared
with us.
The Essays on Facing Grief
are not easy to read. They
are the raw revelations of
a terrible place.
In them you will find a
unique story as well as
hope for what is ahead.
They are not for the
faint of heart.
They are for those who
want to be comforted
in their affliction.
They are for those who
long to reach out to us
but do not know how.
They are really
for all of us.
Embrace love in
a way you never
have before.
Join us for
the journey.
