Book Cover & Preview Text
I need you Lord! I can't go through this Sister Grief alone, which I feel way down in the depths of my soul. This loss of my child is unbearable. I learned that losing a child is like no other loss. I literally felt like my whole world had come to an end. As parents we feel we are supposed to protect our children. I asked, why is my child dead and I am still alive? My child is supposed to bury me, not I him. If you have lost a child, be patient with yourself; it will get better. My precious child now dwells in heaven. Oh, how I miss him. I miss him at family gatherings when my nephews are around. Actually, I just miss him all the time. The Lord was there for me in my Sister Grief and he will be there for you in your storm. Now let me share one plan for defining and conquering Sister Grief with Jesus.
