What to do when tears aren't enough? Is it a question that we ask ourselves at one point in time when something tragic happens?

You can cry all day and night, but the problem is that situation doesn't go anywhere. It just magnifies itself. Writing this book was my therapy after losing my 48-year-old son. It was a tragedy and a sobering event because he was only 48 years old, and full of life. However, events in his life caused his death.

I think when you can remove yourself from the actual circumstances surrounding you, take a step back and look at tomorrow, and see that it's never goodbye; but ''I'll see you later''. You know that you will see them again; And that's what keeps you going.

I watched him suffer, deteriorate, but then I also watched him gently close his eyes and go home to be with our Lord.

I recommend this book to anyone who has lost a loved one; not because I wrote it … because I lived it.

Goodbye isn't an appropriate word, but “I'll see you later” is the one thing that gives you hope and comfort.
