Inhaltsangabe

Nine years of happy marriage..and suddenly death snatches a husband, leaving a wife too stunned to cry. It takes time to mend--time to do the "grief work" psychologists tell us must be done in order to feel whole again. When Dorothy Hsu's husband died, she found comfort and healing in pouring her feelings out on paper that reflected the stages of her grief. Here is a unique volume that carries the reader from tragedy to triumph, proving once again that God's grace is sufficient in every kind of need.

Aus dem Klappentext

How Can I Function?

How can I stand on one leg?
Think with half a brain?
Love with half a heart?
That's why I've been struggling so.
Somehow, You'll have to fill the gap, Lord.
Somehow, I know
You'll make me whole.

MENDING is a diary of one widow's thoughts and emotions...of the questions she asked and the answers she found...of a faith that helped her accept a new life...without fear...without shame...or bitterness.

Daddy's Dead

How do you say, "Daddy's dead"?
How do you tell your little girls?
It's not something you practice.

I just gathered them round,
Put my arms around them both and said,
"Jesus took daddy home."
Remember when daddy went to
Denver and Boston? Well,
He's taken another trip.
This time he won't come back...
But he's waiting for us.

Rachel sobs.
"How can I sleep tonight
since daddy's dead?"
Missy's silent. No response-
She's older. It stikes her deeper.
Another day she'll cry.
Simple, isn't it?
To tell your girls that
Daddy's dead.
