This book, Reflections with Lessons: A Journey through Grief, could be described as two books in one. One part depicts how a person moves through his life and either grows or regresses in his attempt to find his way forward. The author reflects on many events that occur in his life as he moved from a child to a teenager, to an adult, and now to a senior citizen. In his reflections of these events, he tries to draw a lesson, what did he learn, how did it shape his future, and was it correct, or should he have used the reflection to draw a completely different lesson that would have served him better? It is hoped that these reflections and lessons are meaningful and are written concisely and occasionally with a bit of humor, sometimes third-grade humor.
The other half of the book does not reflect on a child playing baseball or a teenager trying to date the cheerleader or a young child lying to his mom. No, these tell of finding and losing the one. The one person who made sense of the time between the finding and the losing.
This book will not find world peace or cure cancer or help you decide between Diet Pepsi or Diet Coke, but it is hoped that upon completion, the reader chooses to attack the grief and not let grief or the other bears and wolves of life win. Bang on!
