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 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. AUTHOR: Gayle Taylor Davis is a retired English teacher with 36 years of experience.
