Gayle Taylor Davis had it all, a husband she adored, two successful daughters, and a career she enjoyed. Then one phone call took it all away, when a policeman called to tell her that her husband of 32 years had suddenly died of a heart attack. Plunged into the strange new world of grief, Davis began to write to make sense of her experience. This is Davis's personal account of how she climbed out of grief, step by painful step, a no-holds-barred look at personal pain that is rarely shared or talked about. Davis reveals the worst moments of her grief, days of tears, nights of wailing, and thoughts of suicide and teaches the reader through her example that one can survive the worst. A brutally honest and intimate portrayal of raw grief in all its pain and ugliness, the book rejects simple-minded words of comfort to address loss with simple home truths: This is the worst pain you will ever feel. And you will survive it.
Born in Pasco, Washington, Gayle Taylor Davis was born in Pasco, Washington, she grew up in California's Central Valley, where she attended California State University, Fresno, and taught high school English for 36 years. Davis's husband of 32 years, Tony, died in 2005; 'Grief Sucks ... But Love Bears All Things' is the product of her personal writing to make sense of the experience of grieving for Tony's death. Now, Davis is remarried, retired from teaching, and writing a novel. She lives in Clovis, California.
