I was asked to write a blog, When the Storm Rages, for the upcoming R.E.A.L. womens conference, where I’ll be speaking on September 9, 2022. Tickets are still available.
My topic ties in well with my upcoming book, “Cutting Through Despair: Dare to Hope.”
I hope you’ll take a look.
Let me tell you a little bit about one project that I have been working on since March. I was asked to write a chapter for “Death, Where is Your Sting?” a new book from Shari Howard McMinn. The book comes out on August 30 – which is National Grief Awareness Day – and I’ll get you an Amazon link when the book is available.
In my chapter, I shared the story of my mother’s five-year battle after a massive stroke. She died in 2017 and writing this chapter helped me honor her memory.
I hope you’ll pick up the book when it’s available. Grief is not black despair. It is suffering, no question, but suffering often can re-shape our priorities. How many times have you heard of someone, upon losing a loved one, to encourage others to reach out to their loved ones? Priorities shift our outlook – and often give us more compassion to our loved ones as well as come alongside others grieving.
It’s good preparation and I encourage you to consider the book.
