After the death of a loved one... ...how do you laugh again? ...how
do you love again? ...how do you live life again? ...how do you
navigate the journey of grief? ...how do you reclaim the dreams you
once had? Before the death of a loved one... ...how do you prepare?
...how do you help others going through grief? You start by picking
up this book. Why? Am I an expert in all things grief and grieving?
Hardly - far from it. Sure, I'm a Bachelor's Degree prepared nurse
practicing in pediatric oncology - caring for cancer kids - who has
had the privilege of helping more than one family through the
grieving process. But more than that, I am a father who held his
young son as he took his last breath. Little did I know that that
last breath would usher in my first step on my personal journey of
grief, a journey that continues today. Perhaps you are undertaking
that journey right now, even as you read these sentences. Perhaps
you know someone who is on this journey. Or maybe you have not yet
experienced grief, and are reading this text simply because you are
curious why some guy would actually encourage you to yell at God.
No matter where you stand in relation to grief, I invite you to
stop standing and start walking - take that first step with me. In
this book you will be given a front-row seat, a raw and intimate
look into the thoughts, feelings, pains and joys of a father and
mother as they live out a ten-day span that begins with an innocent
late summer walk and ends with a son's dying breath. You will see
in action what one of our son's doctors described as "faith, hope
and love" that "affected doctors, nurses and secretaries in a
profound way." It is a story of hope and encouragement in the midst
of darkness and despair. Interspersed throughout this story will be
various lessons that I have learned along my now decade-long
journey. These lessons will discuss powerful topics including
dreams, forgiveness, miracles, and questioning God. I even give you
permission to laugh at me along the way, as you might find humorous
stories from my childhood illustrating these lessons (you'll be in
awe of the time I came up with the world's most ingenious plan to
find out if a fifth-grade crush liked me back). Be ready to cry. Be
ready to laugh. This book is not a 10- or 20-step grief recovery
plan. I will not tell you how to "get over" your loved one or how
to "get past" the grief. Instead I am passionate about showing you
how to embrace your grief, and more importantly how to embrace life
again after someone you loved dearly no longer shares that life
with you. So will you come with me? Don't worry - I brought the
Kleenex.
