Tom and Tricia Hack

Authors: “Someone is Missing at Dinner” Tricia and Tom Hack are the authors of a children’s grief story titled Someone Is Missing at Dinner. Their grief journey began on January 2022, when their twenty-four-year-old son, David, died unexpectedly from a rare autoimmune disease. Just two and a half weeks later, Tricia’s sister passed away, and five weeks after that, Tom’s mother died. Their grief was magnified, and the months that followed felt like a fog as they tried simply to survive. David’s death, in particular, left a hole in their lives that can never be filled, and thyey deeply miss his loving and playful presence. The feeling of missing a loved one is often most intense during family gatherings, such as dinners, and special occasions like birthdays and Christmas. Their story, written for both children and adults, shares the different ways in which family members cope with the loss of their loved ones, all from a child’s playful perspective. Most importantly, it highlights the eternal hope we have through Jesus’s death and resurrection for all who trust in Him as their Savior.
