“Don’t believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation. Look with your understanding, find out what you already know, and you’ll see the way to fly.” ~ Richard Bach
A thought on the future…
This past week I edited the full version of Grieve With Grace in preparation for its release next month.
I burned lots of hours editing, writing, and rewriting—all with the idea of helping millions of people find life after grief.
This is a powerful, easy-to-read, and very useful book for people suffering a loss—of any kind: death, divorce, career, money, business, the list is endless.
As I was reading and writing, it dawned on me that my story is continuing beyond the loss.
I was creating important relationships—friendships, lunch buddies, theater rats, and the like.
Thoughts of a significant relationship… even possible marriage started to permeate my consciousness.
Of course, as a writer, I take note of everything.
And I try to put a picture next to my ideas, hence the somewhat bizarre picture above. A picture that raises more questions than it answers!
The big question for me, and probably you, “What happens NEXT… what does the FUTURE hold… what do I actually NEED to make the rest of my life the best of my life?”
Or at least, a good life—not the slow-motion suicide I see many folks living.
Yes, life after grief is a huge issue. Getting through Grief With Grace is the first step.
We built the bridge over our river of endless tears.
But now the question becomes…
Just where will this path lead?
Friendships, loneliness, marriage… living a life that actually matters?
My charge is to figure this out, first for me, then for my readers.
The entire point of Grieving With Grace is to find your path out of the valley of despair inorder to love and be loved… again.
Stay tuned:)
