Ray's Book on Grieving - Looking on the Bright Side

Somethings You Get Over, Other Things You Just Get Through

Grieving Hurts

I began writing this book less than a week after Babe’s funeral. As I journeyed through the grieving process, I learned grieving and its soulmate, suffering, hurt like hell. At first, I thought I was unique in my suffering. However, reality peeled away the scales from my eyes and I soon recognized the millions upon millions who shared the same journey.

I learned those who grieve become invisible to many people. I now know what it is like to walk among those who grieve. In the past, if I caught a hint of their suffering, I kept them at a safe distance. I offered a short hug and kind words such as, “I’m sorry for your loss,” and “Let me know if there is anything I can do.” I now walk among them, invisible to those who have not yet experienced grieving.

If you or someone you know grieves, Grieving: Walking Through the Darkness, will help you or those you know understand that what you are experiencing is normal. Like me, you may never gets over grieving, but you will get through.
