BIOGRAPHY
Richard has been writing parables that carry grieving people through the hardest seasons of their lives for more than twenty-five years. A parable is a symbolic short story that illustrates or teaches some truth, religious principle or moral lesson.

He is the author of "It’s Not Goodbye, It’s See You Later; A Collection Of Inspirational Parables” and its 2nd edition; “The Best Is Yet To Come." They are both available on Amazon.

In this life no one is promised tomorrow and people often leave or are left wishing they had just five more minutes and not even the magic of Christmas, a New Year or Easter’s promise can give those who grieve what they would truly love.

This makes grief one of society’s most misunderstood and profoundly difficult experiences that cannot be resolved by closure if there's even such a thing, but by the slow measure of acceptance that only the passage of time and words of comfort can provide.

Prince William read his words and wrote back from St. James Palace. The Centering Corporation, the largest grief resource center in North America carries his work in their Centering Grief Resources library.
The United Kingdom's The Good Grief Trust has recognized his writings. The 9/11 Memorial Artist Registry holds his name and Love What Matters have lent his voice to their readers.

Richard wrote, “The world goes on without them, for most it goes unchanged, but for some it will never be the same." The people for whom everything has changed are those sitting alone at 2am after losing a grandparent, parent, spouse, child, sibling, cousin, an uncle, an aunt or a good friend. His words can make their loss feel more bearable, and after twenty-five years of writing they deserve to find them.
