MemberOn Nov 28, 2004 my brother, friend and law partner died suddenly from a heart attack at age 64. It was certainly ironic since he was apparently in good health while my MDS situation makes my future healthwise questionable.
And so through God’s grace and sovereignty, I am still here and doing well physically, while Dan went quickly from life to life hereafter.
A good friend, who is an editor at Zondervan Publishing in Grand Rapids gave me a copy of a book re dealing with loss. I found it to be an outstanding read and commend to you for your consideration. I’m sure it can be purchased through Amazon.com or through your local bookstore. The book is called “A Grace Disguised” by Jerry Sittser, a gentleman required by fate to deal with the simultaneous loss of his mother, his wife, and one of his daughters in a car accident.

MemberHi John, I’m so sorry for your loss. I just recieved a phone call a little while ago that my ex sister in law had passed away on Saturday, suddenly. She was only 48. My first husbands passed away at the age of 32 and my mom this past summer. So much truth to the saying – “live each day”. I find myself almost getting paranoid now, and worrying about everything. I will be checking out the book you suggested.
Take Care John, again, I’m so sorry.
