Author Bob Arnold Discusses His Grieving Process After Suddenly Losing Daughter
The phone rang in the middle of the night, followed by the horrified screams of Bob Arnold’s wife, Jeanne. “What are you saying?” she cried. “Marcie’s not dead!” The man on the other end of the phone was the coroner in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and he was calling to break the news that Bob and Jeanne’s beautiful 23-year-old daughter, Marcie, had suddenly passed away from an undiagnosed heart defect. As the founder of Meadow Ministry and former Executive Director of Youth for Christ, Bob reveals how he and his wife battled through grief and sorrow in the wake of their daughter’s shocking death nearly 20 years ago - and how they included their surviving children in the grieving process. Daily journaling and scripture reading became his book which helps others heal through their time of grief.
