Come Closer, God – It Hurts: Healing after the death of a loved one
What we do in our season of grief has a tremendous impact on our future.
The popular saying, "Time heals all wounds," does not apply to the loss of a loved one. Time merely marks the number of calendar days since a loss occurred. It is what we do with the time that matters.
Emotional healing after the death of a loved one requires intentionality and can only be fully attained when we invite God into the process.
Come Closer, God – It Hurts, is completely different than any other book on the market as it combines both biblical truth and counseling expertise. This resource compassionately walks with you through your emotional pain and into a place of hope and healing.
