Down in the Valley : 9781498401777

The journey through the valley of the shadow of death does not end when a loved one dies ... but rather is just beginning. How long will you linger down in the valley? How long until healing comes? How long will the pain and loneliness smother your heart and spirit? How long until God speaks peace and healing, learning and growth to your soul? The answer, just like the experience of the journey itself, is different for everyone. Walk through the valley with the author as she travels through memories, emotions, and questions. She shares her questions, her anger, her slowly growing understanding and changes, to offer guidance on your personal path through the valley. Just as she learned, the deepest pain comes in the darkest moment of the night. Cry out to God ... and before you know it, your tears will fade to sweet rest and peace, and joy will come in the morning. * * * * * "Down in the Valley" is an Amazing Book"! Out of her personal experience of enjoying a 40 year genuine love relationship with a spouse, then experiencing the despair and agony of widowhood, Dr. Thomas has produced a tender message of honesty, hope, and healing in dealing with grief. Having endured the loss of a beloved son, I can identify with Dr. Thomas as she expresses the pain of grief; but more importantly, the triumph of healing that comes through having a personal relationship with God. Therefore, I believe that anyone facing the anguish of loss and bereavement can benefit from this manuscript, if they embrace the hope that is revealed within its pages.
