A mother addresses the issues of grieving in a poignant and personal journey toward healing.

There aren`t many people who haven`t been touched by grief in some way. Those who are often find themselves with a season of hopelessness. “Will it ever get better?” they wonder. To make matters worse, after the initial overtures of sympathy, friends seem to melt away, unsure of how to help, unable to offer more. And so the bereaved are left alone to deal with their pain.

GRIEVING FORWARD deals with the grief process—not in a clinical or workbook style, but through the eyes of a woman who experienced it personally. She knows what it means to long for peace. For restoration. For proof that it will get better. To help, she has written her story. Her goal is to encourage sufferers that they can move forward, embrace life again, and be healed. Readers will come to understand that it`s okay to grieve, as long as they grieve with the hope and knowledge that God will see them through.

All of us will know grief in our lifetimes; no one is exempt. GRIEVING FORWARD shows us that we can survive it.
