Death and Grief

In all of my books, coping with death and grieving are significant, but none as much as Healing NewEarth 4. From personal experience I know that grief is a process. The first rush is only the beginning and it slowly becomes something you live with, not something you overcome, or leave behind.

Not all deaths are equal, not all people are as significant as others. Those you see every day can impact you more deeply than those you see occasionally. Other people who live at a distance can rip out your guts when they pass because space and time make no difference.

The process of grief is painful, but it can also resets our ability to establish other relationships. There is no easy way to grieve, no shortcut to get around the pain, but it eases over time. All of that plays heavily into the way I write about grief and loss.

After a reader meets Golly and experiences the NewEarth world through his eyes, you’ll understand. While other losses are contained in my stories, that one hits the characters, and hopefully the reader with a bang.
