Book Cover & Preview Text
In grief, have you found yourself simply caught off guard by the type and the magnitude of emotion? Just when you think you have got a handle on things, a huge tsunami of thoughts and feelings overwhelms you and it’s all you can do to accomplish the most routine of tasks, IF . . . you remember to do them at all! THIS IS NORMAL! You are not losing your mind! It’s all there, just recognize your pre-frontal cortex is overloaded right now. And that is why the WORD says this in the New Testament. James 1:27 TLV Pure and undefiled religion before our God and Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world. To sum up, we, as the body of Christ, are called to go and see, and look out for the fatherless and the widows and do what we can to relieve their anguish, help carry their excessive burdens, their trouble, and take some of the pressure off their minds.

About the Book
The idea for this book was birthed during a time when several dear souls in our local congregation lost their spouses. Seeing a real need for a Bible-based grief support group, this author asked her pastors and church family to pray that GOD would inspire and help her write a curriculum which would ‘marry’ what happens to the grieving soul physically, emotionally, and spiritually with the restorative power of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Each of the seventeen lessons is designed to be shared within a support group setting where the bereaved will learn that what they are experiencing is not unusual, it is universal to all mankind since the beginning of time. Not only does the grieving reader find out they are not ‘crazy’ or losing their mind, but they are reminded that GOD cares about them as an individual and will speak into their pain His healing word.
