Title: Grief sucks... but love bears all things
Description: "Gayle Taylor Davis had it all -- a husband she adored, two successful daughters, and a career she enjoyed. Then one phone call took it all away, when a policeman called to tell her that her husband of 32 years had suddenly died of a heart attack. Plunged into the strange new world of grief, Davis began to write to make sense of her experience. "Grief Sucks: But Love Bears All Things" is Davis's personal account, expressed at times through poetry, of how she climbed out of grief, step by painful step -- a no-holds-barred look at personal pain that is rarely shared or talked about. Davis reveals the worst moments of her grief -- days of tears, nights of wailing, and thoughts of suicide-- and teaches the reader through her example that one can survive the worst. A brutally honest and intimate portrayal of raw grief in all its pain and ugliness, "Grief Sucks" rejects simpleminded words of comfort to address loss with simple home truths: This is the worst pain you will ever feel. And you will survive it"--
