Abstract:
In My Grieving Soul, a father tells the shocking but true story of his son’s brutal murder, and the judicial outcome of two of his son’s assailants. But, his writing doesn’t stop there - Wayne Eggleston goes on in graphic, yet eloquent detail, sharing the grief that he and his wife, Angie, are experiencing – even to this day. This book is not just about the murder of an innocent sixteen-year-old boy, and it is much more than just a loving tribute to an only child – it’s an accounting of the grinding pain and of the burning tears. It is an outreach to all parents who have lost a child, and to those same parent’s coworkers, friends and family members who don’t and can’t understand for lack of their own experience. There is a hope lying just beneath the surface of the words within, a prayer that it will help just one person. This book is a torchlight, shining into the deepest and darkest recesses of personal grief and loss, peering deep into the very center of the grieving soul - exposing it ‘all’ to whoever will take the time to read it. Lastly, this is a testament of unshakable faith in God and of thankfulness to dear friends and caring strangers.
