In the prison of your soul

Fear and grief may take control.

Oppressive as they both may be

Allow the truth to set you free.

A compelling love story, the harsh reality of earthly loss, and evidence of the extraordinary power of healing fill these pages, laced with hope and promise. Written by first-time author Gail Norwood, this true story erupts with both the stunning beauty and the depths of sadness that constitute our lives—all our lives, not only those who have recently lost a loved one. It is an intimate reflection on loss, which we all have, and healing, which we all need. Our losses are as different and unique as each of us, but many of the fundamental strategies to help us cope are universal. These nurturing truths are there to guide us, comfort us, and encourage us to live again.

An unexpected sentence to Grief Prison is a portal to the dark side of bereavement. In this bleak midwinter of our soul, we are detained in sullen captivity. It is solitary confinement, a lonely internment where we are held against our will. But can we escape? Can we escape to a good grief, one that is healthy, productive, and enlightening?

The keys to good grief can open the lock binding us to this cruel incarceration. One key is recognizing our choices and keeping our balance. Another reminds us to practice acceptance and letting go. Gratitude fills us with joy as we rise to our higher selves and cherish our sacred present moment. The light in the darkness guides us each day as we relearn the eternal lesson of death and rebirth, loss and renewal. Embrace these keys to healing and feel the freedom!

First time author Gail Norwood draws on her true story of tragic loss to provide a personal message of hope and survival.

In a literary world filled with no shortage of books on grief, this one stands out. It opens with a tender love story, then a gripping account of how quickly life can turn. Subsequent chapters provide a practical guide to deal with loss - which we all have, and healing - which we all need.

At 64 years old, this former flight attendant, wife, mother, and grandmother saw her routine, satisfying life come to a jolting halt. Suddenly everything changed forever. It was life happening - the kind of life happening we wish would just pass us by. Faced with this challenge, each day became a struggle. There were tears to be cried, lessons to be learned and healing to take place.

Have you ever felt imprisoned as the walls closed in around you? Have you ever found yourself in a confining emotional place - against your will? Not everyone receives this brutal sentence, but many do. Dealing with loss and serious life transition was indeed a cruel captivity. Trying to flee was too daunting for Gail in her weakened state without any perceivable path to freedom. Eventually, by the grace of God and a strong will to live, she found a way out.

Are you in Grief Prison? Find the keys to open the lock and feel the freedom. Gail escaped - and so can you.

In my 50 years as a psychiatrist I’ve never read a more comprehensive description of mourning, destructive and healing!

Escape from Grief Prison is a powerful example of how grief impacts us all- and a resource for healing. While at first, audiences may feel this book is the author’s story, by the second half strategies and reader meaning becomes evident. This is an excellent resource for Christians navigating grief. The hardback version worked best for highlighting important sections for current/future reference. As a woman who didn’t realize she was grieving the loss of a marriage, Norwood’s Escape from Grief Prison has become a self-help manual for me.

Gail Norwood has written a deeply personal and moving story of her own journey from happiness to the depths of grief and back. This engaging book is a page-turner with many lessons for anyone grieving. It will bring tears of empathy as she describes the loss of two husbands and her return to happiness. Those of us with a deep faith and a willingness to tap into it will find whence her strength has come. If you are grief-stricken, as so many are in these post-pandemic times, a quick read of this book will offer hope that you too will find renewal for your spirit. I enjoyed this book.

I throughly enjoyed every page of this book. It is inspiring and full of so many moments that every individual can connect with. I read this book after my neighbor recommended as she is a friend of the author. Not only was this a treasure to read but the open dialogue with family and friends which came after truly is beautiful! Don’t pass this one up. To grieve is to love and we all love!

Gail's book is a treasure about her journey dealing with grief and has tremendous life lessons. Soon after reading, I was already buying copies to give to friends that I knew would benefit from Gail's wisdom. Yet it is a story for all of us, not just those who are grieving, that life with joy is something we all deserve and must embrace. For those who are grieving, I can imagine that they will find great comfort in Gail's very personal story and her concept of trying to get to a place of good grief.

True Story Cafe: I didn’t really want to read a book on grief: but I found soooo many parts of this book that resonated. And the writing is really captivating and creative. I considered giving away my copy of the book after I finished reading it, but there are too many thoughts I want to revisit. So I’ll just have to buy extras as gifts!
