After the Crash Northwest Flight 255 (Aug. 16, 1987)

"AFTER THE CRASH" is, quite simply, one of the most thorough books on grief this reviewer has read. Like C.S. Lewis' excellent A GRIEF OBSERVED, this book tells it like it is."--Betty Webb, COX News Service. Surviving the Loss of a Loved One. THE SHOCK. THE DENIAL. THE ANGER. Then the overwhelming waves of sadness that can devastate a person's life & even threaten his or her sanity. Anyone who has grieved the death of a loved one knows what an awesome challenge it can be to not only accept such a loss but to go on to rebuild a life without that special person. AFTER THE CRASH offers hope & inspiration to meet this challenge. Author Rose Weite was forced to confront death head-on when her husband was killed, along with 154 others, in the crash of Northwest Airlines Flight 255 on August 16, 1987. Her first-person account describes her struggle to come to terms with her personal tragedy & to grow spiritually from it. AFTER THE CRASH takes an honest & sometimes painful journey through the labyrinth of emotions that death leaves in its wake. The result is not a morose, self-pitying diary but an uplifting testimony to the resilience of the human spirit & the life-affirming lessons that even death can teach. This inspiring book offers an opportunity to reflect on the capricious nature of life through the eyes of one woman who survived its tragic aftermath. Its thoughtful, sometimes emotional, & compelling message will touch anyone who has ever grieved - or anyone who can empathize with those who have. Mail to: Clementine Books, Inc., P.O. Box 26927.
