Epigraph
Dedication
To my wife, Sarah,
who courageously walked with me
through our pilgrimage of lament.
I love you.
To my daughter, Sylvia,
whom God used to teach me that
hard is hard; hard is not bad.
We miss you.
First words
[Foreword] When a broken neck ambushed my life and left me a quadriplegic, I felt as though God had smashed me underfoot like a cigarette.
[Introduction] Learning to Lament began on my knees.
Who taught you to cry?
[Conclusion] My journey in learning to lament began with "No, Lord! Please not this."
