New York, New York and San Francisco, California, ( pressabout ) April 29, 2010 – Ed Gray’s grieving process was triggered by the deaths of both his parents and taking care of his wife who died of Lou Gehrig’s disease. Writing poetry helped Ed to distill his experience down to its essence. Originally, he wrote to help himself and as a tribute to those who died. But then he says, “As my own journey progressed, my writings became focused on helping others.”
