Heaven Is a Journey Not a Destination

Janet McCreadie is a Dunnville-based freelance editor and writer.

Professionals and clergy have access to a variety of material on grief
and bereavement. Laity, and especially widowers, need resources to help
them through difficult times. This story is therapeutic because it puts
the reader in touch with the experience of healing in another’s pain.

Lea’s well-crafted account of his marriage, the painful loss of his
spouse, and the gift of grace he experienced—which opened him up to a
new vision of himself in relation to life, death, and the future—makes
for a moving story. The author offers a validity to viewing death as a
beginning as well as an ending in this frank and sensitive treatment of
the subject.
