Life Without Fu
Description
Carl and Francis had a beautiful life together as friends and spouses for nearly 50 years before she was diagnosed with a serious illness. "Life Without Fu" describes their wonderful life and is a tribute his beloved "Fu," a nickname that stuck with her. Carl also details his grief as he stood by her side as the illness gradually took her away.
Carl writes as if he knows what he's talking about, because he does. For decades as a pastor, he has seen grief up close, but he has never lived it as painfully and intimately as he now has. His own experience is the source of this book. He writes with deep faith and disarming honesty-two things you don't always find in the same person, but you will find them both in Carl and this book. I trust what he says, and I believe his raw vulnerability, his natural gift with words, and his unrelenting faith in God's goodness will encourage anyone walking a similar road of grief now or in the future. Rev. Lynn Meadows-White, United Methodist Minister
Carl and Frances White's love story spanned almost half a century. To know them as a couple was to know how faithfully they served the Lord Jesus and how they loved each other so well in such a sweet and devoted marriage. In Life Without Fu, Carl does a masterful job of sharing both the delightful back story of their early years together as well as the poignant story of how he faithfully walked with Frances through her courageous battle with cancer. Carl's sense of humor coupled with his ability to tell the story with such passion and detail evokes both laughter and tears. To God be the glory for this encouraging account of how the Lord sustains his children even as He calls them safely home! - Mary K. Mohler, President's Wife, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
Recounted with incredible transparency and punctuated with touches of humor, Life Without Fu is the story of one man's journey toward and through the grief prompted by the passing of his beloved wife after nearly fifty years together as "Mutt and Fu." Carl M. White describes with remarkable candor and considerable courage his coming to terms with the inevitable reality of life without his soulmate. This is a source of comfort for anyone who is heartbroken over the loss of a loved one. It is a source of encouragement for anyone struggling with how to take the next step. Most importantly, it is a source of inspiration for anyone who needs a reminder of the power of love and the providence of God. - Dr. Barbara McMillin, President, Blue Mountain College
