The Journey from Pain to Purpose

Have you ever had the devastation of a sudden death or suicide of a loved one hit you head on without warning? The overpowering sense of grief that follows brings you to your knees and leaves you helpless and hopeless on the ground. It seems like you have no strength to go on. The death of your loved one seemingly has made you die with them. This book is about hope. It contains hard-fought revelations and truths that can encourage and enable those who grieve to get their lives back. Grieving, in these situations, is devastating, but it need not be deadly. There is hope to be discovered and healing to be experienced. There is a way to progress from pain to purpose. This book is the story of such a journey that one couple, Steve and Carol Riggs, were able to make. Within these pages, you will find the truths that led them through the grieving process. From the crippling loss of their only son, they have emerged, by God's great grace and mercy, to help others who have found themselves struggling as the result of sudden death or suicide. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. (Psalm 30:5 NKJV)
