Jerry Vornholt – författare

If you have ever experienced a deep sadness over the loss of a close loved one, you will recognize the poems in The Wounds of Grief as snapshots of many of the intense emotions that you felt but perhaps were never quite able to describe in words.

Instead of allowing himself to be bullied into following societys schedule to get over it and to move on, Jerry Vornholt has used his poems to warmly recall how many of the very ordinary events that he and his wife took for granted have now become some of his most precious memories.

Jerry and his wife, Sharon, frequently referred to themselves as a team throughout the forty-eight years that they had the privilege to be together. Several of the poems in this book focus on his intense desire for that relationship to be continued in heaven.

Will we really see our loved ones again in heaven? What kind of relationship might we have with them if we do see them again?

Following the death of his wife, Jerry Vornholt received cards, letters and verbal words of comfort from many sources consoling him with advice that he will be with his wife again in heaven someday. Those words became both a beacon of hope and a problematic hindrance in Jerrys painful journey through the wounds of grief. He wants more than anything for those words to be true, but he could not help but wonder if that really will happen.

Those who are grieving over the loss of a close loved one will appreciate the heartfelt viewpoints and homespun stories that appear throughout To Be Continued in Heaven as Jerry searches for answers to these and many other questions following the heartbreaking loss of his wife and very best friend to cancer.
