The Widow's Might (Book) - 8/21/2007 6:49:17 AM
Sounds like a much-needed book! Hopefully, it also discusses moving beyond bereavement and opening your heart to the possibility of new love. If so, this book would pair perfectly with my own book about falling in love with, and marrying, a widowed person!
Congratulations, Cherie!

The Widow's Might (Book) - 12/12/2006 3:25:54 AM
It is like the proverbial elephant in the room. And of all the fine "specialty ministries" that exist today no one has truly spoken clearly and passionately about the spiritual, emotional, and very personal effects of widowhood.
When we say "until death do us part," the thought that we may have to someday bury the love of our lives is the farthest thing from our minds. But sadly enough, if the Lord delays His coming, widowhood is not only possible- it is a quite probable.
In this thoughtful, provocative, and extremely insightful book, Dr. Brown expresses a compassionate bed-side manner as she provides us a road map for facing life after one of its most tender terminal points: the death of a spouse.
May this book bring you insight, and if necessary, help you heal from the permanency of your widowhood. But more importantly, my prayer is that you will discover The Widow's Might. Thank you Dr. Brown! The world has been waiting for this book.

Hope for the Holidays (Short Story) - 5/6/2011 5:41:59 AM
This is an inspiring story, Cherie, and a great message. Would it perhaps be easier to read with some paragraph spacing? My eyes tended to jump from line to line - but it could be my age!

REMEMBER SEPTEMBER 11th (Short Story) - 9/11/2007 7:30:43 AM
Cherie,
First of all, I'm sorry for your loss(es). One, hard enough, to bury two: can't imagine.
Secondly, I am a Veteran: the daughter of, the sister of, the neice of, the cousin of, as well as one, myself. A lot of military history in our family. Your story conveys the pride of serving our Nation honorably, and the terrible toll exacted on some.
Thank you for penning this stirring rendition. I'd like to track you, to not miss another word.
(((HUGS))) and love, Karla. USAF, 1983-85

M/Brown...
This country is made to feel proud and strong through women as you who have stood within the forefront of a price than is paid for many who live within the comforts of freedom and democracy. I can only offer my condolences for yourself and your family who have surpassed beyond the call of ...Duty, Honor, and Country. Families as yours will be within the prayers of citizens who can only offer a small thank you for your bravery.
I am positively sure that your two husbands bravely and honoraby lived with the same philosophy of Life, Liberty, and Justice. They as the many military personnell throughout this country deserve our prayers and our support for as long as Freedon reigns.
I believe in our country and all it pertains. May God Bless You and Your Family for all you have given.
Love and Peace.....

Thank You Veterans The Folded Flag (Short Story) - 9/7/2007 8:12:16 AM
As a casualty assistance officer who has presented the flag to a widow, I could only imagine the grief and thoughts going through the fresh widow's mind. Now I know.
This story is very powerful and must be published because the truth of war cannot be overshadowed by the propaganda of bravery and sacrifice so often revered in the media.
What happens after the ceremony must also be revealed. How does a person pick themselves up and move on in life? Please publish the complete story.

I know what you are going through and it is not easy. You stood proud at his grave and accepted the flag with honor and now have to proceed on with your life with many memories and keep things together for your Children's sake. I sympathyze with you and find it hard to encourge you to go on because you now need time to grieve.

I been through just what you say in 1984. Thanksfully I found a second hubby who did not divorce me, but died on me. Oh well, no #3, noone to watch go downhill but myself.
Divorced (Poetry) - 11/15/2008 9:17:01 AM
Whew that there could cut grits! I like the broad and the indepth look at all factors that can keep a relationship from growing placed throughout the piece. It was like saying you could have sugar if you at least try but if you walk away and don't give a damn about change all you're gonna get is low fat salt. I would have to agree that divorce is based on a lack of compromise and sacrifice. Ironically if people fail to sacrifice and come to a compromise you really do compromise your relationship and perhaps sacrifice the one thing you love the most ini the end. That's interesting and some very power packed point sista! Write on sista and keep spreading the words of wisdom.
