From Eulogy to Joy

By Kristina Strom and Cynthia Kuhn Beischel

Book Overview

From Eulogy To Joy is a unique, autobiographical anthology. These moving and thought-provoking personal stories are shared from the heart and contain the words of people who are "experts" by virtue of having experienced grief firsthand in myriad situations: loss of children, siblings, parents, mates, relatives and friends through accidents, illness, suicide, murder and natural death. From Eulogy to Joy provides comfort and reassurance that grief is intensely individual and, as such, all responses are appropriate. This book unveils the revolutionary fact that, contrary to common belief, we never "get over" the death of someone close and actually never should. Rather, death is a life-transforming experience to "get through" and eventually "grow through" to a place of inner peace and renewed joy."There is only one name on the death certificate. Read From Eulogy To Joy and learn that life is full of commencements, not terminations."Bernie Siegel, MD, author of Love, Medicine and Miracles"beautiful book...on a very important topic...approached in a very heartfelt way..."Dr.Richard Carlson, author of Don't Sweat the Small Stuff"From Eulogy To Joy is a wonder...so important and helpful.

Lovely book about a dark topic!

We all face death in our life and not just own own demise. We lose beloved friends, family members, and pets. This book offers a wonderful gifts for those grieving - the wisdom of a shared experience and the push to start enjoying your loved ones in memory.I found this book especially helpful last September. I do not know anyone personally who died in the Pentagon and World Trade Center, but I grieved just the same. Reading this book really helped me.
