It's a topic no one wants to talk about, but everyone will eventually face - death. We may avoid discussion, pretending that if we don't talk about it, it will never happen. Loved ones are often left to grieve a death without the skills and abilities to effectively navigate grief. Lori McMillan West lost her husband when she was a young mom with four children. Uncertain how to handle grief, she sought information, solace, and comfort in books written about grief, only to find that published materials about the subject often approached it from a clinical perspective. This book approaches grief from an intimate view. Lori's gift of writing and her ability to relate her experience offers the reader valuable insights and information designed to assist the reader in their healing. Along with her personal experiences, topics that are covered in this book are the emotional, physical, social, financial, and spiritual impacts felt with the loss of a loved one.
In a collection of personal stories, photographs, wisdom, and step-by-step guidance, Lori McMillan West shares candid dialogue of her unique experience with grief after the loss of her husband, Joseph, and what she has learned in the process.
