It’s Ok Not To Cry, is a book intended to help others going through a difficult time. It is about my life experiences (and some friends and family members) on the topic of loss and grieving. It is not all tears and Kleenex though, there are some humorous parts mixed in. I really hope that sharing my story can help someone in some way. Losing a person(s), pet, relationship, home, ect can be extremely hard. My philosophy is that nobody can tell you how to grieve, but hopefully hearing stories similar to your situation can bring you comfort. About the Author Gina Schampers was a 28 year old adult orphan. She lost her father at the age of 23 and her mother unexpectedly at the age of 28, when she was 6 months pregnant. She has experienced loss in her life and struggled with knowing how to deal with it. Paperback Back Cover Copy Life is never the same, from that moment you hear any bad news. The loss of a person, pet, home, relationship, all can be life altering. Finding out how to deal with life in a new way, in a “new normal” is the reality of the situation. There is no one right way to grieve, everyone goes through it differently and nobody can tell you how to grieve. In the moment you think that nobody can understand what you are going through. Nobody can understand your relationship YOU had with that person. It will never be the same; you don’t have that person to call up when you have a question, or that person to share your funny inside jokes with anymore. It’s Ok Not To Cry hopes to help others who have gone through a loss. It’s not all serious; hopefully it will make you smile too.
