Book excerpt: “A gift of love to others who are seeking solace.” —Olivia Newton-John On the morning of May 11, 2015, Erin Davis, one of Canada’s most beloved radio personalities, suffered a devastating blow Erin was on set in Jamaica when she received the news that her twenty-four-year-old daughter, Lauren—who had marked a joyous Mother’s Day just hours before—had failed to awaken to her baby’s cries. Thus began Erin’s journey of grieving out loud with her family, friends and listeners, and of demonstrating how to pick up and keep going after experiencing the worst loss a parent can endure.

It reminds us that we are not alone in grief, and that although life is unpredictable and unfair, we can survive and return to joy.
Download or read book Joy Comes in the Mourning written by Helene Marie Cruz and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2022-01-30 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joy Comes in the Mourning presents an authentic and practical devotion-style book intended to speak to a topic that, unfortunately, everyone must encounter in their lives—grieving loss. This collection is unusual in that it is autobiographical. Author Helene Marie Cruz shares both her experiences of loss and those of many in her family and close circle of friends, all of whom have lost loved ones. The testimonies vary in terms of the types of losses and the situations before and after the mourning, but the common theme is that God, the Father; Jesus, the Son; and the Holy Spirit, the Counselor, were present somewhere during these journeys of grief. Cruz encourages but also evangelizes, eliciting the Holy Spirit to pull you toward either knowing the Savior for the first time or calling upon Him for healing, grace, peace, and the joy that the Psalmist David speaks of in the healing psalm of promise, Psalm 30:5—“weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.” Uplifting and encouraging, this collection of testimonies invites you to understand and ultimately live the promise offered by God of the joy that follows grief.

Download or read book The Morning After Mourning written by Vickee Martin RN BSN and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2020-01-15 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grief is very hard work and the worst grief is your own. After a devastating loss I put my grief work on hold, until I thought there would be a more convenient season. I had two grieving teenagers, worked 120 hours every two weeks and I was going to school to get my BSN in nursing. When I least expected it, the impact of the loss overwhelmed me. If something triggered me, I would burst into tears, during the most inopportune times. Grief work is a step-by-step process, and it can not be rushed. The presence of loved ones and friends helped. It was almost easier if no words were spoken. I was reminded of Job’s comforters. The most comforting friend was the one who remained present with him and said nothing. To self soothe, I read, I prayed, I wept and I searched the scriptures, as well as any information that would help me through the grieving process. It was during my searching, both scriptures and information, that brought me the most relief. Jesus had truly sent His Comforter, which I was so grateful for! It was during those very difficult hours that the Holy Spirit prompted me to write a handbook on how to process and move through the grieving process. Grief work cannot be ignored. Denial is a functional coping strategy for a short period of time, to get important things done, but it truly can not be put off for long.
Download or read book Romanticism Memory and Mourning written by Mark Sandy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject of Romanticism, Memory, and Mourning could not be timelier with Zizek’s recent proclamation that we are ’living in the end times’ and in an era which is preoccupied with the process and consequences of ageing. We mourn both for our pasts and futures as we now recognise that history is a continuation and record of loss. Mark Sandy explores the treatment of grief, loss, and death across a variety of Romantic poetic forms, including the ballad, sonnet, epic, elegy, fragment, romance, and ode in the works of poets as diverse as Smith, Hemans, Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley, Keats, and Clare. Romantic meditations on grief, however varied in form and content, are self-consciously aware of the complexity and strength of feelings surrounding the consolation or disconsolation that their structures of poetic memory afford those who survive the imaginary and actual dead. Romantic mourning, Sandy shows, finds expression in disparate poetic forms, and how it manifests itself both as the spirit of its age, rooted in precise historical conditions, and as a proleptic power, of lasting transhistorical significance. Romantic meditations on grief and loss speak to our contemporary anxieties about the inevitable, but unthinkable, event of death itself.
