Heart Works: A Father's Grief is a book for everyone who has ever loved. This is a book about the beauty of life.

Across the pages of this book, a father makes a courageous effort to put into print his deepest feeling regarding life. Heart Works explores the paralyzing depths of grief, the awesome power of love and the incredible light of hope.

The newly bereaved, unable to concentrate, can pick this book up, read a page or simply gaze at the photographs and feel a connection with their own emotions.

People who have swallowed their grief for years can use this book as a tool to open themselves up and allow the grief to start lifting.

Those who have not yet experienced a death, yet have sadness due to a divorce, relationship breakup, or loss of a job will find solace by the words in Hearts Works.

All who read this book will be reminded of the fragility of life, and be encouraged to love more, show more patience, and slow down to enjoy the beauty of this world.

Whether you are a man or a woman, you will refer to this book throughout your lifetime.

Courage

I have been told courage will get me through this grief. To be brave. These are brash words from individuals who wear not my shoes. Silently in mind I ask for them to be more compassionate, put themselves within my heart. The amount of strength it takes for me to get up in the morning to face another day. I buried my life when I buried my child. I have walked where those who pray, pray they never will. Today I am alive. Courage is for someone stepping through a line of fire to carry a comrade out on his shoulders, to breathe life into his dead lungs. Courage is for those who choose to enact it, then commit to it. It does not take courage to survive the death of a child. It is determination, strength, and weakness that will get me through this grief. Many times I have wanted to die with this sorrow. My love for life has become my weakness.
