"Coming Out of the Darkness & Into the Light"
2014 National Grief Awareness Day Project

We our trying to educate our society on grief and what grief is really like. Our purpose is to take grief out of the dark and into the light. We want to break the silence and smash the stigmas surrounding grief.

There is nothing wrong with grieving. 
No one person grieves the same. 
Time has nothing to do with grief.

We no longer will hide our grief!

Sending warm hugs to my grieving community.

Grief affects nearly every person, if not all. Grief is that feeling of loss after losing someone or something close to you. The greatest grief a person can experience is that of a ....? You fill in the blank, because to be honest, the blank is different for each of us. It depends on the loss we've experienced thus far in our life. I have friends who would say their parents. A child might say their grandparent or beloved family pet. Regardless of your loss, grief is involved and necessary. This is one of the greatest lessons Angie and her team hope people will understand as they increase awareness of grief.

Earlier in the week I said you would be able to view the cover to my next book. I apologize if you expected to see this today but I've decided to wait. While I believe the cover is complete, the title is still a work in process so until I confirm this is the title God will have for this next book, I'm going to wait. 

If you think of it, will you pray for me as I write this next book. My hope is to share the another part of the journey, when a loved one is missing. While I have direction, notes, a skeletal outline, and ideas to move forward, I don't want to rush it. When it's time, I'll reveal the cover and title. Until then, I'll keep writing, blogging, and speaking to share hope and encouragement with those God places in my life. 

I hope you'll visit the National Grief Awareness Day pages

I invite you to leave a note of hope, 
encouragement, or remembrance 
below in memory of those you grieve...

As Angie Cartwright says, "We no longer hide our grief!"
