The Gift In a Box of Darkness
$8.95
This book is a treasure, a gift to us all. It is a beautiful tribute to the author’s son Eric, which in and of itself is a wonderful read. But it is also so much more than that. John C. Anderson has written a book for all of us who have suffered with grief (be it the loss of a family member, a close friend, or even our beloved pets). He reminds us that we all share the same grief and that none of us are alone. He also provides ways that will help us accept this inevitability, obviously through his own very hard-earned experience. I thoroughly enjoyed his memories of the trips and adventures he and Eric had shard for the short time Eric was here with us, and I felt I had come to know somebody I would very much like to have known in life.
All I can really tell you is READ IT. There is great comfort in knowing none of us is alone in this world and that grief can and should be accepted and allowed to go on for however long those of us in mourning need for it to be. – Lee Murphy
This book was written for anyone who has suffered the loss of a loved one and for everyone who will inevitably experience the grief that comes with the loss of a loved one: May you find here the words you need that others may find difficult to give you.
Anais Nin said, “The secret of a full life is to live and relate to others as if they might not be there tomorrow, as if you might not be there tomorrow” Good advice indeed.
