Monster in the Wilderness: A story for those who are grieving

Death not only extinguishes the life of the departed, but also diminishes the lives of the loved ones who "survive." Many never fully recover; they continue to struggle through a "wilderness" into which their sense of loss has remanded them. Monster in the Wilderness provides a roadmap to recovery for those who are left behind. Sally Swanson recounts her two experiences of loss upon the deaths of her fiancés only days before their planned weddings. She tells of her victorious battle with the Grief Monster in the Wilderness, and describes the survival tools that eventually allowed her to regain her life and a renewed sense of purpose. Its author's experiences demonstrate that, while grief is inevitable, contentment and a fulfilling future are achievable for those who muster the faith and fortitude necessary to continue life's journey. Paul Willax, her collaborator in creating this book, has included LotzaLists for Living which can aid the process of successfully navigating the Wilderness and moving on to a renewed and rewarding life.
