Is your life joyless and you often wonder if it's worth the struggle?
When nighttime comes do you breathe a sigh of relief, thankful for a few hours of oblivion only to wake up and start the cycle all over?
If you answered yes to either question then Life Interrupted: Grief Recovery Guide and Workbook is the help you need. This faith-based book pinpoints nine stages of grieving including denial, chaotic emotions, fear, anger, hurt, guilt, depression, letting go, and saying farewell. It also includes commentaries and prompts to help readers respond to and process emotions.
Additionally, where most books on grieving end, Life Interrupted continues by offering hope and encouragement with a section titled, "Life Resumed", which focuses on four key areas:
- Living in the Present
- Discovering Your Passion
- Planning for Your Future
- Helping others (including children)
The author is well acquainted with devastating pain and loss as well as the joy that healing brings. God, always present in her life, became her anchor through her personal experiences with various tragedies including the loss of several family members and more recently 3 siblings in one year!
