Facing Tomorrow

About the Book

"In the beginning of the grieving process survival seems an impossible feat. The mourner’s challenge lies in Facing Tomorrow. After the death of her first husband, author Phyllis McElwain found herself unequipped to deal with grieving. Yet eventually, she managed to cope with it, learning there are many losses to grieve besides death itself. Conceived during the mourning process, Facing Tomorrow offers discussions that may be helpful to you in your journey of grief. It is not a how-to guide, but simply a description of the process of moving from the moment of loss toward healing and restructuring one’s life.".”
