This spiritual companion for mourners affirms their need to mourn and invites them to journey through their very unique and personal grief. Detailed are the six needs that all mourners must yield to and eventually embrace if they are to go on to find continued meaning in life and living, including the need to remember the deceased loved one and the need for support from others. Short explanations of each mourning need are followed by brief, spiritual passages that, when read slowly and reflectively, help mourners work through their unique thoughts and feelings. Also included in this revised edition are journaling sections for mourners to write out their personal responses to each of the six needs. This replaces 1879651114.

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.

“A memoir … and a book of wisdom.” – Rev. Andy Lambkin “Brenda reminds us to live courageously in the face of adversity.” – Fr. Mark James O.P. What do we do when deep grief invades our lives? How do we negotiate the unwelcomed journey we find ourselves on? What do we do with our unspeakable pain? Even more, what do we do when we have asked God to spare the life of our loved one and he does not give the answer we hope for? In When God Says No, Brenda Smit-James tells the story of her journey with grief following the untimely death of her mother – a journey where she questioned God and his goodness, questioned whether Jesus was worth following, and questioned the relevance of the Christian life. In telling her story, Brenda shows us how grief can be engaged and not merely endured and how we can face the darkness of grief with quiet courage and, in so doing, find a way back into the light again.

“Rarely do memoirs of grief combine anguish, love, and fury with such elegance.” — Entertainment Weekly In 2002, Ann Hood’s five-year-old daughter Grace died suddenly from a virulent form of strep throat. Stunned and devastated, the family searched for comfort in a time when none seemed possible. Hood—an accomplished novelist—was unable to read or write. She could only reflect on her lost daughter—“the way she looked splashing in the bathtub ... the way we sang ‘Eight Days a Week.’” One day, a friend suggested she learn to knit. Knitting soothed her and gave her something to do. Eventually, she began to read and write again. A semblance of normalcy returned, but grief, in ever new and different forms, still held the family. What they could not know was that comfort would come, and in surprising ways. Hood traces her descent into grief and reveals how she found comfort and hope again—a journey to recovery that culminates with a newly adopted daughter.

Journaling sections encourage mourners to articulate their unique thoughts and feelings.

2019 Illumination Book Awards Bronze Medal Winner. In this small but powerful book, Larry Warner, author of Journey with Jesus, thoughtfully and sacrificially opens his soul, gently bringing the reader along on a journey through grief. His story is unique to him, but many of the emotions he suffered and the insights he gained are universal. This book is divided into two sections: a helpful comfort for the grieving, and a guide for those who choose to travel with them. Part One is an explicit, honest description of the abyss that is grief. This section helps to normalize the unprecedented and unpredictable behaviors of grief, encouraging freedom and honesty in the processing of the pain, and offering timely glimmers of hope. Part Two is a straight-forward manual for walking with someone through the abyss: simple, sensible and direct. The role of comforter is not to be taken on lightly; the journey is often long and difficult, but the ministry of presence is profoundly meaningful. This book gives people permission to grieve as they can and as they must while also equipping others to come alongside those who are hurting in ways that promote healing. This is a book for those who are suffering loss and for those who desire to be a help to those walking through their first year of grief.

A poignant story of loss and how a young mother picked herself up and found the courage to move forward in the search for answers about death, loss, and grief while foraging a new path in her desire to find joy again. Wendy's life was forever changed when her husband passed away from accidental carbon monoxide poisoning in 2009. She had already experienced a traumatic loss when her mother had passed away a year earlier, and now she was left with a one-year-old son and a new path that she had to forge alone. This is a story about the loss of her spouse and her journey to finding her way out of the challenges of loss, grief, and sadness and back into joy. It is her story of hope, how she moved forward one step at a time and how her quest to understand life after death helped her heal and move forward.
