Growing up in a huge family you always have someone to play with and you will learn about death early on and often. Some people say I would love to be in a big family. It has it perks but with anything in life benefits can also come with problems. The problems of growing up in a huge family filled with love would be the reality that death comes knocking often.

As I write this (1-31-10) my family is preparing for the funeral of my uncle, my father’s youngest brother. The question remains why am I passionate about grief and healing? Reason number 1 I want grievers to feel free to grieve and mourn. Reason number 2 sometimes family culture can create suppression to grieving and eventually healing. Reason number 3 my family love the words be strong when dealing with death. Reason number 4 Jesus Holy Spirit comforted me in my grieving valleys. Reason number 5 we will all experience death. Reason number 6-100 I am passionate about helping the body of Christ grow better in grief and not bitter.
