What started out as a journaling exercise used to cope with the deaths of her mother and infant son, soon turned into a useful booklet on grieving grieving Mourning, see there . Vanessa Alexander Johnson is the author of When Death Comes a Knockin,' a detail account of her personal losses and experiences with grief. What makes this book different from the millions of self-help and inspirational in·spi·ra·tion·al adj. 1. Of or relating to inspiration. 2. Providing or intended to convey inspiration. 3. Resulting from inspiration. literary works available on the market today is that it is not cold and calculated. Instead, the reader feels like a close friend whom Johnson has chosen to confide the most intimate and sometimes painful details in the life of a grieving mother. Using the booklet as an opportunity to educate the reader about the grieving process, Johnson's approach is warm and refreshing about a harsh reality Harsh Reality are a little-known, proto-prog band born in Stevenage, Hertfordshire out of the remnants of the Freightliner Blues Band (formerly the Revolution) in the early sixties. that many of us have a difficult time accepting and working through, "Getting your head and your heart on the same page is the hardest part in the grieving process ... you will never forget your loved one, but if you allow yourself to go through the grief process, you will learn to keep your loved one alive in your heart." In addition to her personal accounts Johnson also reflects on biblical scriptures and the usage of poetry as other sources of encouragement for the reader. When Death Comes a Knockin' is a good resource for anyone who is struggling with the death of a loved one, especially a child. I would also recommend it for clergy members, counselors and health care professionals. Johnson resides in Louisiana where she works as a 911 Dispatch Supervisor. She is married to Welton Johnson and is the proud mother of Haven, Alexis, Johnnel and Jalen (deceased for 10 years and for whom this book was dedicated to).
