In 1971, my mother died in my arms. It wasn’t
inspirational; it was terrifying. I felt completely
helpless, sick physically and emotionally.
The shock and grief for those who are no longer in
my life, including my dear mother, have now turned
to memories. These are memories that I’m grateful to
have even though at times, they make me feel sad.
If someone you loved has recently died that might
sound preposterous, but it will happen with time.
If you have recently experienced death, you know
it’s impossible to prepare. Yet with the
information within these pages, you should be able
to handle the situation. In a difficult time,
this book can help.
Reading and applying the material will help you get
through the experience of death and perhaps make the
road a little smoother. With the information
you can get a “handle” on the pain. Any death hurts,
including that of a cherished family pet, as
discussed in chapter 10. There’s no quick fix for
grief, yet there are ways to help you heal even in
the worst of times. Having this book as a
resource is like being with a sensitive and trusted
friend. You are not alone.
