Everyone of us knows days when we are scared, like David, confused and rebellious, like Job, or at out wits end, like Jeremiah, asking whether God has forgotten us. Christians too often start to panic when our physical or emotional pain becomes too much and problems even our best friends don’t know about become too heavy. But, says Maretha Maartens, those feelings are temporary. We do not drown. In fact, we become increasingly like Jesus. Whatever happens, we cope, because: C: We have Christ. He is faithful. He hears and reacts to our cries for help. O: The O refl ects the lowest point, the Oh! of our lament. It reminds us of the times we found ourselves in the depths of despair, but also that God has brought us back to to the light. P: Although we experience times of Panic, Problems and Pain, we have a Passover Lamb, a Person to whom we can go with our problems. E: We have God’s Eternal promises, and He has made an Eternal covenant with us.

Coping With Loss The grieving process: Ty Alexander of Gorgeous in Grey is one of the top bloggers today. She has a tremendous personal connection with her readers. This is never more apparent than when she speaks about her mother. The pain of loss is universal. Yet, we all grieve differently. For Alexander, the grieving process is one that she lives with day-to-day. Learning from her pain, Alexander connects with her readers on a deeply emotional level in her debut book, Things I Wish I Knew before My Mom Died: Coping with Loss Every Day. From grief counseling to sharing insightful true stories, Alexander offers comfort, reassurance, and hope in the face of sorrow. Coping with loss: In her early 20’s reality smacked Ty in the face. She was ill equipped to deal with the emotional and intellectual rollercoaster of dealing with her mom’s illness. Through her own trial and error, she found a way to be a caregiver, patient advocate, researcher, and a grieving daughter. She wrote Things I Wish I Knew before My Mom Died: Coping with Loss Every Day to help others find the “best” way to cope and move on, however one personally decides what that means. Mourning and remembrance: In the chapters of this soul-touching book, mourners will find meaning and wisdom in grieving and the love that will always remain. Each chapter is a study and lesson in coping with loss: • Chapter 1: We’ve been duped, everyone dies! • Chapter 2: The truth about my moderately dysfunctional family • Chapter 3: The Art Of Losing • Chapter 4: The how of grieving • Chapter 5: How to be obsessively grateful • Chapter 6: Dear Mama

The classic guide for dealing with grief and loss. Daily reflections to find solace in our own lives, and comfort in the connection of sharing these meditations with countless others. After the focus on planning and outpouring of love from family and friends in the immediate aftermath following the loss of a loved one, we are left to enter a new version of our lives where someone important is missing. For days, months, years, the pain of the loss can crash in all at once. It is tempting to push that wave of grief back and soldier on with our new lives, but the loss will never lose its controlling power if we don’t find the courage and love to face it. Meditating on the loss, along with the rush of love that comes with it, gives us a chance to rejoice in the life that was shared, and to look forward in which memories of our loved ones continue to bless us. The short, poignant meditations given here follow the course of the year, but it is not a necessity to follow them chronologically. They will strengthen, inspire, and give comfort for as long as they are needed.

This volume presents current models of coping, describes the coping process, and relates that process to environmental factors, person variables, and desirable outcomes. Unlike most treatments of coping, which are organized around stress, this volume emphasizes features of the coping process that have broad relevance across many potential stressors. Although each model in the book tends to emphasize different aspects of coping, the organization around models gives each chapter a theoretical focus which will be attractive to researchers and to those applying current research to applied problems such as interventions. The most obvious audience is made up of researchers and scholars in the broad area of stress and coping. With the emerging emphasis within applied programs on more common psychological and health problems, coping theory is well suited to train students in the principles and issues relevant to everyday problems and functioning. This volume is well suited to assist in such training.
