Looking Forward
Looking Back
The Grieving Journey

There is nothing that can prepare us for grief, yet at some time and in all probability several times during the course of our life, we will find ourselves mourning the loss of someone near and dear to us.

At these heartbreaking times, the need to identify with someone who understands how we are feeling is strong and we find ourselves looking for information and answers written by those who have suffered as we are suffering.

‘Looking Forward – Looking Back’ takes an intimate look at the grieving journey through the eyes of Author Lorraine Kember following the death of her husband Brian to mesothelioma (asbestos related cancer.)

Lorraine writes from the heart, her unique style of combining discussion and helpful information along with a deeply moving account of her own emotional journey, provides a rare insight into grief and explores issues rarely discussed following the death of a spouse.

Excerpts and poems from Lorraine’s diary; written days, months and years following her husband’s death, portray her vulnerability and her growing strength as she uses the power of positive thinking to overcome her grief and go on to achieve things she never thought possible.
