Grieving Grace is penned with pain as words bleed from heart to page. Doug writes about the death march with his family as they spend sleepless nights and tearful days by the bedside of their dying mother. Death comes to us all; we have that in common. But the way it comes is as unique as you. And death comes in its own time. For those who are afforded the foreknowledge of its coming there is a process that takes place within a person and they begin to understand the reality of their own mortality. During this process people begin to withdraw from this world as they prepare to enter the next. Experience what takes place from both sides of the bed as Grieving Grace shares: "This part of our story was written two weeks before our mother's home going. It represents what often takes place prior to death. As you read notice the different manifestations common within the process of withdrawal." Grieving Grace shares real life stories as they happen and answers tough questions like: How do you say good-bye? How do you tell her she's dying? What do kids know about going? What are the five W's of withdrawal? What common symptoms accompany the dying? What happens in the final weeks, days and hours? Death's constant companion is grief and its home looks like an endless tunnel dark and deep. But it's no place to call home-only a place to travel through. There is an exit to grief's dark tunnel and you can find it. These stories, although sown in sorrow, provide comfort and hope for those traveling through the dark days of grief. Grieving Grace written in grief reaps a harvest of relief.
