This is a story of love, loss, sorrow, and restoration. It is written to help those who have lost a loved one and give understanding to those who may come alongside one who is grieving. The personal and sometimes raw experiences are shared to help others as they navigate life through: impending loss, loss, the trauma of prolonged illness or disability, and grief. The author eloquently shares her feelings and experiences during the diagnosis, treatment, decline, and death of her husband. She imparts nuggets of truth and wisdom to guide others through this painful journey. Hope and encouragement are found in these pages. Ultimately, the author points to the One who held and carried her from deep sorrow to gladness, through mourning to joy.
