The Promise of Living: Loss, Life, and Living
George A. Goens
In 2004, George Goens lost his daughter during the birth of his second grandchild. How does your heart and soul respond to the simultaneous crash of life and death? The convergence of two very disparate events - one celebrating the beginning of life, one grieving the loss of another - with distinctly different emotions colliding into a confused muddle. Joy and sorrow. Hope and despair. Happiness and grief. In "The Promise of Living," Goens wrestles with his conflicting emotions over the shocking and devastating loss of his daughter and the birth of his grandson. He examines his beliefs, his relationships, his perceptions, his values, his fears, and his dreams of the future. He came to realize that while living in a community with family and friends, everyone must ultimately face loss alone in the quiet of their own hearts and souls.
