This page is about my experiences in Living Beyond Loss. It has on-line journal entries and essays by both my wife and myself.  In our marriage, I and my wife have buried three children:  Jessica (February 12, 1986 to January 26, 1993), Courtney (February 16, 1992 to December 26, 1993), and Robin (July 6, 1997 to August 31, 1997).  I do not know much, but I do know that life is more than loss.

• Living Beyond Loss: an essay.  The grief process, how to survive it, living through it. Footnotes, etc. Originally published in print.  My personal story. The Legal Practice Management Re-write -- note the final article was heavily, and excellently edited.
• Reflections (thoughts from having lived through loss). (Used as the basis for a side bar for the Legal Practice Management Article -- think of it as a FAQ) and my blog: http://ethesis.blogspot.com/ -- my on-line blog/continuation of on-line journal.

I am a great fan of Dr. Suzette Haden Elgin.  In addition to her books, I also recommend some books on grief and loss that I think might help. [ Recommended Books ].  Remember, you can get all of these books through interlibrary loan.  My advice is to always check the books out at a library first, when you are deep in loss you have better things to spend your money on. Later, if a particular book worked for you, then you can buy it.
