Let Me Grieve But Not Forever: A Journey Out of the Darkness of Loss

On June 28 1987 four Dallas-based Christian leaders were killed in an airplane crash as they were returning from a Focus on the Family retreat in Montana: George L. Clark chairman of the board and CEO of MBank; Dr. Trevor E. Mabery a surgeon who helped found Humana Hospital-Medical City; Hugo W. Schoelkopf III an entrepreneur and sporting goods manufacturer; and Creath Davis founder and director of Christian Concern Foundation.Among the losses their families shared Creaths wife Verdell also lost part of her identity: No longer was she a pastors wife and no longer was she sure what she believed. This deeply moving book gleaned from parts of journals that she kept during the loss of her husband offers a source of hope and healing for anyone experiencing grief. With remarkable honesty courage and generosity she shares how to examine grief and ultimately find healing in the process.
