Early mornings.
Late nights.
Sitting on the edge of the bed,
wondering how to get through another day.

Grief is loud on the inside,
even when everything around you is quiet.

That’s why I wrote ‘SURVIVING GRIEF – 365 Days A Year’.

Not to fix you.
Not to rush you.
Not to tell you how you should be grieving.
But to sit with you in those private moments.
One day at a time.

Some days, reading a single page is enough.
Some days, just knowing the book is there is enough.

If you’re grieving the loss of someone you love,
and need a gentle daily companion to help you keep going,
this book was written for you.

You don’t have to do all 365 days at once.
Just today.

The last two months the service at Cracker Barrel has been unacceptably slow. Larry recommended El Vaquero. Brian, Steve and Carl met there for breakfast and were impressed with the service, food and environment. According to Google, it is only six minutes south of Drake. It has both an American and Mexican menu. Come join us and give it a try! (Cost is about the same as Cracker Barrel.)
