Love You to Heaven and Back: A Journey through Grief

By Christine Sykes

The death of someone we love is recorded in our heart. For each of us this list varies, comprised of grandparents, parents, spouses, children, relatives, friends and all those who bless us with love. How we grieve and what we understand about grief is vitally important to our well-being. Unfortunately, we rarely discuss our sorrow or our experiences with loss. This silence surrounding grief needs to change.
After the deaths of several close friends and her mother, the author faced overwhelming grief. She wrote Love You to Heaven and Back to better understand grief by seeking the answers to her many questions: "Will I ever feel like myself again? Who will I become? How will I heal? Will I ever be done with grief?" These were some of the common questions we share. As she continued to research for several years, the author discovered more questions, greater insights and new perspectives. Is grief only relatable to negative symptoms and categorized in stages? How can grief be viewed perhaps in new ways? Love You to Heaven and Back explores the greatness of love where the answers reside when our hearts are broken.
As we travel in parallel but individual lanes to the same end, what we learn about grief will help others and ourselves. Will we ever know everything about grief? No. It remains as complex as its source, love. There are many more questions to be answered. May you use this book to explore your own questions, find the wisdom love holds and mend your broken heart.
