Mitch walked into the crowed book shop late, he walked in as if he were a person coming to see him, very noble and hungry. All of us in line we thinking he was someone in the bookstore about to make a big entrance but no, he walks in saying “Hey guys”. This stood out to me. A famous author showing us how equally important we all are.
When I got the chance to talk to Mitch, I thanked him for his books and how they have helped me with my grieving.
He said to me: When we lose people it is similar to putting a penny in a piggy bank. We will never see the penny again, but we know it is still there and when we shake it we can hear it. Just like we know our person is still there and can remember all the memories shared.
He said his mom died a couple of years ago to, probably close to the same time as mine.He was sorry that my mom wasn’t around as long
He said: Why do we ask God why he has taken people from us when they die? Instead we should be thanking him for giving them to us for the amount of time we had. We cry on earth but he reassured us that in heaven they are not crying.
After we left I check when he wrote to me in the book he said “ To Marion- so good to meet you! Those we love never leave our hearts. Believe.”
He wrote this book in hopes of exploring healing. Realizing in todays time we want our help like we want our “sandwiches”.
Writing this book was a healing experience for him as he has lost his young daughter. In the book someone asked God “why do you let people die” God responding with they are a gift, all the memories but there death is not a punishment.
I leave it at that and suggest you read the book and let it speak directly to you.
