Purpose in the Darkness: Lighten Grief and Mourning with Faith, Hope, and Sharing

By David J Fry

It's an engaging, true story of one man's ability to find purpose in the darkness of more than 40 impactful losses. With humorous stories interspersed, this journey offers a vulnerable look from a male's perspective of dealing with the unplanned in life, while offering surprises of its own. He discusses key drivers in one's ability to move through grief using DISC, the concept of an HSP, and leaning on one's faith.

The inspirational account shines a spotlight on the ability to find hope through faith, love, sharing, and giving. The book will bring "grief to life" or "life to grief" depending on your perspective. The author captures a number of important aspects for supporting those experiencing loss or to encourage people enduring loss. An appropriate read for anyone.

His inspirational journey overcomes emotional odds, with dozens of impactful losses of family members, friends, and role models spread throughout his life. Auto accidents, a tornado, miscarriage, sudden and extended illness and more claimed the lives of significant people with only one period of "intermission." Now, he acknowledges God's role in helping him become a positive influence despite the grief and mourning. He emerges to find purpose in the darkness and relays his journey of completing college degrees, founding nonprofit organizations, organizing community projects with hundreds of volunteers. He also shares his achieved recognition as a service leader, and promoter of philanthropy, raising millions of dollars for organizations. It's a genuine, new, and hopeful take, and offers a glimpse of the evolution of grief and life in rural America.
