      <image:title>About - Meet the Author.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Cheryl Christopher After graduating from Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas, Cheryl Christopher spent most of her life being a wife, mother of four, and grandmother to eight. Cheryl’s entrepreneurial spirit flourished in photography, modeling and fashion. She launched a successful international bridal line, Christopher and LaLou. Cheryl, along with her husband, has always been involved in community and ministry. Along with others, she brought Young Life to Southeast Texas and launched a bible study for unchurched women called Wellspring. Life and family forever changed with the death of two of her sons and one grandson. Her life is shared with her husband, Gary Christopher, two children, and seven grandchildren. Her days are now filled with doing the things she loves: cooking, writing, painting and speaking with others who grieve significant loss.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Home - A Portrait of Grief</image:title>
      <image:caption>While many books of grief provide helpful but heady information, A Portrait of Grief  provides acute care for those devastated by the loss of a child, holding readers’ hands through the early stages of loss—and providing guidance for sustained healing into the future. A Portrait of Grief simply and truthfully tells about the God who is there, who reveals Himself gently but surely through His compassionate care and loving presence for those traveling through the “valley of the Shadow of death.” Speaking with transparency and authenticity borne of personal experience, the author highlights the path that must be walked, the process that must be experienced, and the purposeful choices required to weather such loss—and eventually move joyfully into the future. In concise chapters, the author points fellow grievers toward hope and renewal through personal stories, teachings, and music selected to soothe the soul. This book points to the hope that lies ahead for all that grieve—for the best is yet to come.</image:caption>
