Grief touches every life, and its pain is universal. Healing comes in tiny increments as you find the courage to put one foot in front of the other and take another step. On Monday evening before Thanksgiving in 2003, Cathy Wilhelm and her husband Tom sat down to watch Jeopardy and enjoy a cup of coffee. One minute they were talking, laughing, and blurting out Jeopardy answers while planning Thursday's feast, and the next minute Tom was gone. In one minute a fatal heart attack ended their life together and catapulted Cathy into a long dark night. After being a faithful Christian for twenty-five years, she felt rage toward God and bombarded Him with, "Why?" Cathy now invites you to follow her "Inside the Darkness" and with unbridled emotion walk with her day by day on her journey from grief back into life and faith. May something of her experience enable you to be there for others and to honestly deal with your own losses.
