Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This God-inspired book, Encouragement for the Grieving Heart, contains uplifting and timeless quotes and scriptures that can work as a soothing balm to help ease the pain of loss. While memories can only be deleted by disease and death, they can be healed with the preternatural peace of God that defies human reasoning. As we fervently seek God out, we will discover that He is the Ultimate Comforter. He is willing and able to aid us with navigating through the various stages of grief according to our individual needs.While comfort sometimes seems evasive in the initial moments of grief, it will come by God's amazing grace. Resilience and hope will eventually trump sadness and we will no longer be paralyzed by pain. While rising above the unforgettable moments of loss is possible, it is not easy. Overcoming our grief is not spontaneous and automatic. Moreover, time doesn't necessarily heal all wounds but it does lessen the sting. There will always be scars from loss, but one day those wounds become old and more tolerable to bear. Serenity only comes because we make peace that loss is an aspect of life that we can never change. It is how things are supposed to be--loss is not a mistake or an anomaly. Encouragement for the Grieving Heart is the perfect book for navigating through the healing process.

Download or read book The Heart of Grief written by Thomas Attig and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2000-10-19 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What's gone and what's past help," Shakespeare wrote, "should be past grief." But Thomas Attig argues that Shakespeare is wrong--that a grieving survivor need never let go. In The Heart of Grief, Attig gives us an inspiring and profoundly insightful meditation on the meaning of grief, showing how it can be the path toward a lasting love of those who have died. Recounting dozens of stories of people who have struggled with deaths in their lives, he describes grieving as a transition from loving in presence to loving in separation. The thing we long for most--the return of the one who is missing--is the very thing that we can never have, kindling the intense pain of our loss. But Attig argues that we can, in fact, build an enduring, even reciprocal, love, a love that tempers our pain. He tells stories, for instance, of a young girl taking some of her dead sister's practical advice as she enters high school, a widower realizing how much intimate life with his wife has colored his character, and an athlete drawing inspiration from his dead brother and achieving what they had dreamed of together. Far from forgetting our loved ones, Attig urges us to explore ways in which our memories of the departed can be sustained, our understanding of them enhanced, and their legacies embraced, so they continue to play active roles in our everyday and inner lives. Groundbreaking and original, inspiring and compassionate, The Heart of Grief offers guidance, comfort, and a new understanding of how we grieve.

Download or read book Comfort and Encouragement written by Jodi L. Serino-Barbour and published by . This book was released on 2019-09-24 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Apostle Paul had a sickness that was so grievous that he called it "a thorn in the flesh". He begged the LORD three times that it be taken away from him, but the LORD said, "my grace is sufficient for thee". While this sickness was not specifically identified, what we do know is that it was a source of major grief for the Apostle Paul. Are you dealing with a "thorn in the flesh" that has you feeling anxious and downhearted, and/or, Are you grieving hard over the death of a loved one, and finding it difficult to cope? God's Word promised that there will come a time when death will be no more, and neither will there be sorrow, nor crying, nor pain. Jesus Christ, who referred to the dead as merely sleeping, told us that there would be a resurrection of the dead. He even demonstrated his ability to bring the dead back to life, giving us something to hope in. Sickness and suffering will be a thing of the past. Do you believe this? Comfort and Encouragement, by Jodi L. Serino-Barbour, was written to remind us of the promises of God to those who believe, in accordance with 1 Thessalonians 4:18. Sometimes we need a reminder to help us to keep a tight hold on this hope that we have in the promises of Christ, in spite of the suffering that is happening all around us, which, at times, closely touches even our families in this present world. Birthed from the desire to encourage a family member who was in Stage Four of a battle with Cancer; and then, directly behind that, facing the unexpected death of a parent, Jodi L. Serino-Barbour reaches into the core of fear and pain to plant seeds of HOPE for the Future.
