The Deacon : An Unexpected Life

Christian Nonfiction
The Deacon : An Unexpected Life Book Cover

We often end up living an “unexpected” life. Yet through it, glimmers of hope, faith, love and peace find their way through.
After being married for forty years and serving the Catholic Church as a deacon for the last five years, leaving the diaconate was the last thing on my mind.
Never did I expect to be a suicide survivor. Grieving the loss of my wife was difficult enough, but with suicide, the grieving was much more intense. Being a deacon in the Catholic Church intensified that grieving even more.
Being alone was never a problem for me, but true loneliness was something new. It came with a realization that I didn’t have anyone to share my life with anymore, and, most dauntingly, because of being a deacon, it came with a sense of permanence - knowing that this was my life now.
