In Rainbows and Rain: Finding Comfort
in Times of Loss, we learn that it is
possible to feel joy again, but first we
must give ourselves permission to
grieve. Grieving takes time and we
need to be extra patient with
ourselves.  This book provides the
words to help us express life's most
indescribable emotions.  It is a
thoughtful and loving gift for anyone
suffering the pain of bereavement.

"Grief is very personal.  Everyone
grieves in their own way and on their
own timetable.  In our society, virtually
no one talks about it, so we can feel
isolated and alone.  Grieving isn't just
about feeling sad.  It is about how we
heal the wounds of the soul.  Grieving
fully will make us stronger and give us
the confidence to feel joyful again.
I know, I've been there.  I wrote
Rainbows and Rain to help others cope
with their pain and find peace once
more."

"What struck me most about "Rainbows and Rain" was
how well the author put words to the experience of
grief... Waterfall nails it when she says in the opening,
'We don't manage grief, it manages us.'"
