4.9/5 (29591 ratings)

Description:Learn how to embrace the painful gift of grief and use it for transformation and healing as you journey through the wilderness to a promised lifeThe Unwanted Gift of Grief is a passionate, practical guide through the grieving process for those who have suffered loss--and those who suffer with them. Rather than talking people out of their grief and pain as a way to make them feel better, this unique book invites them into the grief and pain as a way to healing, transformation and hope. Using real and in-depth ministry and counseling conversations, it identifies the journey through the wilderness of grief. This powerful book is equally valuable as a gift from a minister to a grieving person, as a professional guide for ministers and counselors, and as a training tool for lay ministers and congregation members. Built on the ministry concept of "sojourning," The Unwanted Gift of Grief offers guidelines to be used in helping people in their journey through the adjustment period that follows a loss, a time that may include the darkness of disbelief, frustration, anger, sadness, depression, and healing light as they make their way through the wilderness of grief. Topics examined in The Unwanted Gift of Grief include: grief as gratitude and gifthow family and culture can affect grievingdifferent pathways through griefeveryone grieves differentlysudden loss, slow losing, rejection and suicideidentifying the agony and characteristics of depressiongrief factors that affect marriage and sexualitysaying "Yes" to deathfactors of faith, science and miraclesthe labor and contractions of dying and deaththe hope for healing and curehow to help: the Sojourner's Process Guidethe Grief Date: A Guide for Couplesfifty ways to make it through the wildernessand much moreThe Unwanted Gift of Grief is an essential resource for anyone lost in the wilderness of loss and grief, and for professionals, lay ministers, family, and friends who care for them.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
