I Miss My Daddy: It's ok to be where you are on your path (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781500158491)

I put this book together for several reasons. My hope is to help others going through the loss of their father or anyone close to them whether past, present or future. My desire is to also help to heal the hurting hearts of those who have shared their stories with you in this book. What a loving tribute to their dads to tell the world how much they love them and that they will be remembered forever. And lastly but not least to honor my own father and to make him proud of me by doing what he last told me to do, "keep helping others". So to you the reader if you are experiencing the pain of having lost your dad or if you know that you're going to lose your dad or know someone who is or has, thank you for purchasing this book. And I hope through the stories found in it's pages you find strength and courage and hope. Because it's my belief that our life doesn't end just because we no longer reside on this earth, but that we continue to exist in a higher place and in the hearts of those who love and miss us. In this book you will also find tidbits on how to deal with other things that can cause us to grieve. Things that you'll probably be surprised to learn we have the right to grieve over. What do we grieve for? You'd be surprised at what warrants our grief. We all grieve over the death of someone we love and we know we grieve over the loss of our pets. But did you know that we also have the right to grieve over the loss of a relationship, a job, a home... all of these things are worthy of a mourning period. The loss of anything that we hold dear and has held a prominent place in our lives and/or hearts causes us sorrow and pain and is worth taking the time to mourn and heal. In this book others share their stories and it's comforting to see where they are in their journey. Losing someone is heart breaking but losing someone as prominent in our lives as our fathers changes us forever. Some of these ladies are in the beginning and you can feel their pain and anger and sense of disconnection with the rest of the world and yet you will also read stories of those who have had time to process and heal and grow. It's my hope that their stories will also give you hope to see that while yes this does change who you are at your core forever... it changes you for the better... that same pain that is causing you to hurt so much now... is the same pain that is going to allow you, in fact help you get stronger and move you into the next phase of your life... IF you allow yourself the time... the respect... to grieve.
