Bitter Creek Holler is a collection of poetic reflections on life with an emphasis on grief and loss which I hope will help the grieving heart. My heart needed a voice to cry its sorrow as I went through my own grief journey and encountered others on their theirs. After the sudden, unexpected death of my 22-year-old husband, a police officer in 1981, and now today, years later, the sudden, unexpected death of my 32-year-old son due to Covid 19, I find myself once again walking the road of confusing emotions and striving to hold on to hope. While the reader and I may never meet, it is certain, that as fellow humans, we are alike. We have lived, loved, gained and lost. May you ultimately be encouraged and realize that you are not alone. I wish you peace.
