Download or read book Encouragement for the Grieving Heart written by C. Cherie Hardy and published by Avant-Garde Books. This book was released on 2013-07-08 with total page 174 pages. 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.
