Читать книгу Lose, Love, Live - Dan Moseley - Страница 7

Thanks to all who have walked with me through my life. Thanks to all those friends and family, strangers, and therapists who listened to me long enough that I woke up and discovered my life.

I am especially grateful to my colleagues at Christian Theological Seminary in Indianapolis, who gave me a place to discover myself through sharing with students the stories that shaped my ministry and life. I am grateful to all the church people, professional and nonprofessional, who invited me to talk with them about loss and its effect on growth. I am also grateful to the groups of people who were grieving losses of children and friends who invited me to share their journey. Through their grace I discovered that I was not alone.

I give thanks for my children, their partners, and my grandchildren for the contacts and encouraging words that kept me pursuing the discoveries that can come through shared losses.

I am deeply and eternally gratefully to my wife, Deborah, for her confidence in me and her patient help in encouraging me to put this out for others. Living into the life you have been given is not always easy. Deborah has been a loving and grace-filled companion to me as I have discovered my new life.
