<p>For those of us who have said these words, <em>"...from this day forward... till death do us part."</em> Or, <em>"Congratulations on the birth of your child."</em> At those moments, very few, if any, will consider the possibility of bereavement breaking into their lives when not expected.</p><p><br></p><p>Norman and Doreen Christie said those words <em>"death do us part,"</em> at their wedding, and journeyed together until a fateful day in Spain, when Doreen passed away suddenly, leaving Norman shattered and heart-broken. He found himself numb, lonely, and wondering how he would cope without his wife and best friend for over fifty years.</p><p><br></p><p>Yet, God had a plan. While darkness sought to invade his life, God would bring him on a path of recovery.</p><p><br></p><p>He learnt that praising God for when times are good is commendable; but to praise Him when life is taken... that does take faith. Norman turned to the God that brought them together as a couple to now lead him again.</p><p><br></p><p>Included are insights of what God taught him, and a collection of more than twenty of Norman's poems - written for private solace. By request, they are being made public for the first time.</p><p><br></p><p>It's time to go on a journey through bereavement and into hope with "A<em> Life Lived with Love."&nbsp;</em></p><p><br></p>
