Grief Sucks ... But Love Bears All Things

Gayle Taylor Davis had it all, a husband she adored, two successful daughters, and a career she enjoyed. Then one phone call took it all away, when a policeman called to tell her that her husband of 32 years had suddenly died of a heart attack. Plunged into the strange new world of grief, Davis began to write to make sense of her experience. This is Davis's personal account of how she climbed out of grief, step by painful step, a no-holds-barred look at personal pain that is rarely shared or talked about. Davis reveals the worst moments of her grief, days of tears, nights of wailing, and thoughts of suicide and teaches the reader through her example that one can survive the worst. A brutally honest and intimate portrayal of raw grief in all its pain and ugliness, the book rejects simple-minded words of comfort to address loss with simple home truths: This is the worst pain you will ever feel. And you will survive it.
