FROM GARLIC TO GRAPES...: A Journey Through Grief

Everyone who has ever lived has experienced grief. You may think that babies don’t have grief, but I beg to differ. A baby in his mother’s uterus is in a safe environment for seven to nine months that he thinks is his home forever. He doesn’t have to want for anything: his food is automatically given through his umbilical cord because of what his mother ingests, he doesn’t have a need for clothes because his “home” is warm and cozy, he can swim as much as he wants, he hears the beautiful sound of his mother’s voice and heart beats regularly, and he doesn’t have to worry about anything. Suddenly, he finds himself upside down with his head being sucked into an opening to a new world that is totally unfamiliar to him. Now, he is faced with being in extreme light, being cold, and being handled, poked, and scrubbed by human hands. No wonder he cries! He doesn’t understand and he is grieving over being expelled from the only home he has ever known. So, now that you know that you’ve experience grief in your life, this book is a must-have for understanding what grief is and how to deal with it. Through the life of this author you will get a fresh, clear understanding of how to manage your feelings, your folks, and your faith. Lorna L.
