Book Details
Has a loss left you feeling lost?
There are quite a few books already out in the world concerning grief, so why do I feel the need to write another? First, over the 22 years of working in a funeral home and making grief home visits to over 3,000 families, I was gifted with multitudes of rich, inspirational stories. Many of these appear in my book, Incomplete. If they weren’t put into print, they would be gone. They are all true (names changed to protect privacy). Secondly, people wonder, “How do I deal with this unbelievably difficult loss?” Included are coping mechanisms. These need to be expressly stated. They ease the pain. And lastly, my grandchildren’s grandchildren may find themselves with loss. Devastating loss. Grief beyond belief. Perhaps they will pluck my book from the shelf, blow off the dust, and find just what they need to get back into life again.
