Where do you go when life as you know it is turned completely upside down? It happened to me. The life I knew and loved vanished on August 7, 2013 when my college sweetheart and husband of 33 years chose to end his life. There are not words to describe my shock and devastation. Though I was surrounded with wonderful, loving people, none of them could restore the half of me that died that day. This was a God-sized task! This is my journey through shock, grief, mourning and healing. It is the very personal and profound journey I took to ultimately discover that no matter how deep your pain…God is always there and He is enough. If you are grieving, God Is Enough will give you hope. I understand what you are going through, and I am here to share my message of hope, healing and faith.
M.E. Louis is a native of North Carolina. She grew up in Chapel Hill where she attended the University of North Carolina and met the love of her life, Tate, who became a pastor. After 33 years of marriage, Tate took his life on August 7, 2013. God is Enough is her story of hope, healing and faith.
My Dad died August 28,2011. Mom stated that she did not want to be home during the Christmas holiday. She expressed that it was too painful.
So she and I would go either to the beach or the mountains each Christmas. When Bob died two years later, I could relate to Mom's feelings about Christmas. We continued the new tradition we started with Dad's death. Mom has been my cheerleader
throughout the book writing and publishing process. I asked Mom to read the manuscript of God is enough and give me her comments. She said,
"It was wonderful. Really wonderful. I like the Do's and Don'ts to comfort people." I asked her if she had a favorite part of the book. She responded, "All of it" and then added,
The way you remind people and how you look for Him every day!"
Book Excerpt
God is Enough
My Mom, widowed two years prior to my husband’s death, provided comfort by her presence—either staying at my house or letting me crash at hers. My now best friend, Mom’s numerous phone calls and willingness to travel with me have been a precious gift.
