My friend, David Lyons wrotea book with his sister, Linda Lyons Richardson entitled Don’t Waste the Pain. In the book they discuss somevery difficult issues as they deal with cancer, loss and death of a child. Ihave been reading this awesome book and have been encouraged as the authorsshare honestly and deeply the pain they have experienced. This bookis about finding strength and hope while mourning.
Tough questions areaddressed, some answered, some not. Both David and Linda kept journals duringtheir mourning and have willingly and openly revealed their hearts to readersin their book. They talked about how, in the Lord, they were finding strengthand hope while mourning. They sought God for the answers to their questions.Again, some were answered, some were not.
David had on his heart tobegin a new ministry to help others who were suffering with loss. He desired topass on what he learned about loss and suffering so that others could growthrough their pain and closer to God. This ministry was launched September 15,2010 on the internet as http://DontWasteThePain.com.Many folks just like you have visited the website.
