![]() ![]() ![]() Ob has been an industrious handyman but is now scarcely able to get out of bed most mornings. Now they are reeling in anger, loss and depression over her death. She was the joy of Ob and Summer’s lives. It is winter in the West Virginia mountains and Uncle Ob and his niece Summer are clunking around their trailer house. Cynthia Rylant has written a highly acclaimed novel on this topic, entitled “Missing May.” But when our hearts are breaking this is easier said than done. With grace we can learn that we are all part of a divine plan. Without spiritual understanding, death seems to have robbed us of people important in our lives. This fills us with sadness and the need to make sense of this loss. People that we have loved are no longer with us. Orchard Books, New York, 1992, 89 pages, Grades 4-6.Ĭoping with the death of loved ones is the most painful experience most people will encounter. ![]()
