Deborah
Slappey Pitts, 2008 Infini Literary Award Winner, Writes Sequel to her
Bestselling Book, I
Feel Okay, titled, Shadow
Living...Paintings
of Grief
 How
does one keep on living after losing a spouse to a strange disease?
Deborah Slappey Pitts lost her husband to primary amyloidosis, a rare
immune system disease. Through her heart-wrenching, but compelling
book, Shadow
Living...Paintings of Grief, Pitts lets us into her
personal world—a world of grief, torment, and loneliness
after the death of her husband.
Pitts
outlines
for us the stages of the grieving process and allows us to travel with
her through each stage and the bouts of pain, depression, and anguish
she experienced. Her life almost completely fell apart, but by placing
her faith, trust, and confidence in God, He became her
“refuge
and strength, a very present help in trouble.”
Pitts emerged from the shadows of grief to begin living life once again
to its fullest. She is now a source of inspiration to others, as she
helps many to realize that the death of a loved one does not mean life
ends for you. Along with sharing her personal story of grief, and the
grieving process, Pitts also provides us with an amyloidosis update.
