Grief My Way
Grieving is as specific to the person as it is to the circumstances themselves.
I watched various measures of grief when my father died. As I faced my final chances to tell him how much I loved him and what a wonderful father and Christian example he had been to me, I...
What if There's Nothing After I Die?
“What if after you die there’s nothing?” I asked.
He was one of the godliest men I’d ever met. We often talked about religious subjects. With him, I could discuss the deep things without fear he would judge me for my questions. Knowing his...
