Author Biography

Glen Jackson Jr. writes this book while dealing with his own tragic loss. His wife was taken from him twenty-four days before their four year wedding anniversary in a way they never expected. He constantly had people telling him how he should deal with his grief. How fast he should get over it. How he should move on. That his wife would want him to be happy and not be sad. He realized everyone was rushing him and they were wrong in doing this. He learned his grief experience was as unique as each individual is and must be treated that way. He learned to live his grief his way, in his time, and not worry about what everyone else thought. He wrote this book to share this concept with others and to reassure them they are not alone in wanting to grieve in their own way at their own pace.
