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." - Peggy Waterfall |
