Download or read book When the One You Love Is Gone written by Rebekah Miles and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a loved one dies, you don't get over it, but you can move forward. The bad news is that we never fully "get over" the loss of those we hold most dear; we bear those scars to the grave. The good news is that God is at work in us turning our loss and pain into something beautiful. God can take the scars and the mess and the heartache of our lives-- yours and mine-- and use it to give new life, new life to us and new life to others. God is not in the business of zapping our loved ones and stealing them away from us. But in a world where death waits for every person, God stands ready. God stands ready to receive our beloved dead as they cross over; and God stands ready to guide us through the saddest days, to walk with us through our grief, and to take us into places we never could have imagined places of hope and renewal. If God could take a cross and broken body and make of them redemption, God can take your pain and heartache and fashion them into new life. This book is composed of the reflections that point to broader lessons that will help those who find themselves passing through grief, as well as the pastors, counselors, and friends whose job is to accompany the traveler.

But when an unexpected event occurs, the results will have repercussions for generations to come.

Download or read book The Break Up Get Over When The One You Love Is Gone written by and published by Evelyn Cabrera. This book was released on 2022-07-22 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Individuals gab about what it's preferred to get a separation, however, those discussions don't frequently reach out to what life after separation is like. Since, except if you've been separated, you don't exactly get what's genuinely going on with this next stage. The book begins where you are, as the writer records the experience of being left by his significant other. Then it bursts a way to help you through the course of isolation, revelation, and mending. The book is basic, clear, and loaded with weakness and trustworthiness. It skirts the presumptuous and deigning nature of numerous self-improvement guides and on second thought talks from the heart. Mr. Vineberg permeates the text with his entire being, sharing well-deserved shrewdness that stems from his thoughtfulness and languishing. Let Be to Learn is about adoration, regard, and personal connections. It offers fundamental bits of knowledge into the idea of human communications. It strengthens your soul and calms your grief. It is immediate and direct, and above all - it works!

Download or read book Love Is an Ex Country written by Randa Jarrar and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2023-04-18 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Queer. Muslim. Arab American. A proudly Fat femme. Randa Jarrar is all of these things. In this "exuberant, defiant and introspective" memoir of a cross-country road trip, she explores how to claim joy in an unraveling and hostile America (The New York Times Book Review). Randa Jarrar is a fearless voice of dissent who has been called "politically incorrect" (Michelle Goldberg, The New York Times). As an American raised for a time in Egypt, and finding herself captivated by the story of a celebrated Egyptian belly dancer's journey across the United States in the 1940s, she sets off from her home in California to her parents' in Connecticut. Coloring this road trip are journeys abroad and recollections of a life lived with daring. Reclaiming her autonomy after a life of survival--domestic assault as a child, and later, as a wife; threats and doxxing after her viral tweet about Barbara Bush--Jarrar offers a bold look at domestic violence, single motherhood, and sexuality through the lens of the punished-yet-triumphant body. On the way, she schools a rest-stop racist, destroys Confederate flags in the desert, and visits the Chicago neighborhood where her immigrant parents first lived. Hailed as "one of the finest writers of her generation" (Laila Lalami), Jarrar delivers a euphoric and critical, funny and profound memoir that will speak to anyone who has felt erased, asserting: I am here. I am joyful.

But instead of giving him a celebratory kiss, Ann whispered, "I've lost my feelings for you." Divorce seemed inevitable for the Wilsons, but starting that night, God began to reveal to Dave and Ann the most overlooked secret of getting the marriage we are looking for: a horizontal marriage relationship just doesn't work until your vertical relationship with Christ is first.
