Letting go of someone you love is one of life's most painful experiences. I Did Not Want to Let You Go is a story of love, loss, and a woman's faith in God. Mary Emma Tisinger invites the reader along on her painful journey from brokenness back to wholeness following the death of her husband. Through her account, anecdotes, and poetry, beginning on a college campus years ago, we share significant events in Mary Emma's life, noting important markers along the way. And especially--that she walked with God. A special selection of modern psalms is included. Written from the author's heart, she hopes to touch the hearts of others who walk a lonely road.
