Death is a topic very few people want to talk about. However, it's a part of life we all must face. Over my lifetime, I have been involved in hundreds of funerals. In this book, I explore the lighter side of dealing with grief and mourning through my eyes.
This book notes lessons learned, numerous death situations that can bring a smile to your face or even make you laugh, and show you how others have dealt with this period in their lives. I tell this through the lens of others who have experienced dealing with the death of a loved one. Whether you are going through a period of grief or looking ahead to the time when it comes, this book will help you see the many things involved and perhaps help ease you through the phases of grief.
If you ever need to read a book about death or mourning, this is the one to read. It offers humor, help, hope, and healing.
