You may think that DREAM is an unusual title for a book dealing with grief, but I propose that daring to dream is precisely the right antidote for our aching hearts. Millions of people are hurting because they do not know how to heal. Grieving is a life skill that we are simply not taught. This little book is about to change that. People often get locked in one or more of the 5 stages of grief. When this happens, the pain is prolonged, and the elusive healing is delayed. DREAM is an acronym for 5 keys to unlock the grip of grief. DREAM pairs each of the 5 stages of grief with an exact key to unlock that stage. The 5 keys are: Dare to dream, the key to unlock Denial Remove the stinger, the key to unlock Anger Embrace awkward, the key to unlock Sadness Ask for help, the key to unlock Bargaining Move on, the key to lock in Acceptance DREAM is about more than mere survival. DREAM is a new way of living. DREAM empowers grievers to propel their lives forward with dignity, strength, and grace. DREAM is not about the trauma and tragedy of my story. DREAM is about hope and how to infuse energy and victory into your story. Grieving includes both suffering from a loss AND longing for something we do not have. DREAM is for anyone dealing with loss through death, divorce, job loss, deteriorating health, or any other form of loss. DREAM is also for those who are longing for significant relationships, for financial security, for children they do not have, or for other unfulfilled desires. There is even a chapter for friends and family who are struggling to know how to help a griever. DREAM is packed with the wisdom and all-important life skills you will need to help you pass the hardest tests you will face. When you think of whatever it is you are facing right now, I want you to put the word DREAM beside it. If you are currently grieving, or if you have old grief that needs additional healing, it is my hope that you will dare to DREAM! Your life is waiting for you! Make it extraordinary! Dare to DREAM!

Losing a spouse means losing far more than just your beloved life partner. It often means loss of income, a shift in friendships, and learning to live as a single after years as a pair. Part of the award-winning Grief Diaries series, Surviving Loss of a Spouse offers inspiring real-life stories of grievers who take us on their own poignant journey into widowhood. Filled with grit, compassion and collateral blessings, the stories offer readers wisdom to lean on and learn from, help them feel less alone, and offer hope that love truly lives forever in our hearts.

If we will only lend them our ears, these lively tree characters will teach us much about God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.The young trees attend “boot camp” to learn many new skills. Come along and discover the fun-filled ways they get into the boots they recently received as a Christmas gift, walk in their new boots, fill up their hydration kits, and lean into the river. Perhaps you too will discover what the Bible has to say about leaning.

Come frolic in the grass with us, alongside the river bank of King’s Valley, as we laugh and learn from Franny Fig, Polly Pomegranate (Pom Pom for short) and their grandmothers, Nana and Rue Rue. If we will only lend them our ears, these lively tree characters will teach us much about God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. The young fruit trees get ready for and attend the Easter Revival where their grandmothers’ prayers are finally answered – at least partially. Come along and watch as the trees lift their branches to the Son, lean down into the river and be baptized, and then part ways unexpectedly. Perhaps you too will learn what it takes to bear fruit that lasts in your own life.
