Publisher's Description

For several years I cared for my wife of over forty years, who was suffering with dementia. For much of that time and since her death I have grieved her loss. This book is about some of the lessons God has taught me and the insights He has given me during this season. I write from a personal perspective that is founded on Scripture and Christian experience. Although I have served in ministry for decades, I don't write from a professional ministry perspective. My motive is to encourage and share these lessons and insights with Christians who are either providing care for a loved one or who are grieving the loss of a loved one.

“To witness the awesome peace within Deborah despite her physical and mental decline was an honor and evidence of God’s works and faithfulness. I highly recommend this book for anyone who has lost a significant other.”

Linda Barela

“The title lets us know why this book is valuable—we all lose, and we all need to learn lessons. In addition, this is a story of love and loss, which makes the lessons even more important.”

Dale Reece

“Never before has a personal journal become such a tutorial for all of us. Ray Miller invites us to walk with him through his grief journey to the other side of life after loss: the death of his wife, companion, and ministry partner. Undeniably Christian, unashamedly transparent, unforgettably insightful. This deeply personal grief journey changed the writer forever and will change the reader also.”

Ross McElroy

“When I began reading this book, I knew God wanted me not only to endorse this book but to use it to bring emotional healing to my own grieving journey. This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to fight the good fight of faith with courage and tenacity.”

Eleanore Kue

“Lessons in Losing takes us on an insightful journey with Ray Miller and his loss of Deborah. I found it to be uplifting, heartbreaking, and thought-provoking at the same time. I recommend this book for anyone who has suffered the loss of someone close to them. . . . This is a wonderful gift to share with friends who are in a journey of grief.”

Jerry Rotan

“I know that Ray’s thoughtful perspective of death will resonate with many. At the same time, his compassionate approach and scriptural references will bring comfort to anyone seeking solace in a difficult time.”
