Collateral Damage is moving! It’s powerful enough to guide, support and comfort you thru your grief process. Grief is different for each of us. As we go through day-to-day life we never know when it’s our time. The young healthy guy on the treadmill who drops dead, the innocent daughter sitting in the backseat when the drunk driver runs the red light, we just don’t know when it’s our time. Since this is indeed true, how do you think that affects the ones that love us who are left behind? It leaves questions for God; it leaves the family and friends in excruciating pain and then they become the heavy lifter because the deceased is now collateral damage. As this book addresses the elephant in the room, it begins to give a deeper insight into our inner man. While looking at stories from the bible of the men and women who deal with this same grief process reinforcing that only God can bring peace and change our perspectives about the loss in our lives. Collateral Damage gives your insight and defines gray areas where confusion may be as to why the loss may seem so great. This book will encourage, uplift, may even make you shed a few tears, but it is consolation to cheer the soul. My prayer is Revelation 21: 4 “he will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away. “And He who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.”
