Find encouragement when facing grief and sorrow, or gain insight for encouraging others. John Wallace Stephenson, who lost both his wife and his daughter in a car accident, shares his struggles in coping with the initial shock, overcoming guilt and anger, dealing with past memories and loneliness, and managing the physical symptoms of shock, sleeplessness and exhaustion. This update include a chapter describing the author's ministry, and each chapter now includes questions aimed at helping you apply what you have learned.
I received this book from a caring friend. Reading it was a gentle reminder of the promise in Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you" declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." I appreciate the transparency of Mr. Stephenson in sharing his most intimate thoughts regarding his grieving process.
