We think our lives will always be the same. That changes will never happen. That intrusions will never alter our present peace and serenity. We move about from day to day, and become oblivious to any encroaching possible problems.Then, a huge crisis arrives: DEATH!! It comes without warning. It offers no time for preparation. No time for erecting protective walls. As earths final enemy, death takes someone special from you. It takes away your shared blessings. It ends a beautiful, fruitful, and fulfilling life together. In deaths shattering aftermath, survivors make the gallant attempt to piece their lives back together again. This is because everything that was once highly positive has been suddenly made negative by deaths uninvited invasion. In this volume the author shares his painful grief journey following the death of his wife. He shares how his life was turned upside down. How he became a severely broken individual. How he endured numerous painful and unavoidable life changes. How he was faced with the tough challenge of reframing his life. And how in the end, he was able to move toward a renewed life of healing and blessings.
