Excellent resource for individuals or groups

If you are looking for a book which may be used individually or as an outline for a group...this is it. Here is a healing tool for the bereaved. It gives a clear and concise way for coping. It places the loss into the spiritual realm. This is really a unique approach for bereavement.

A Spiritual Program which addresses actual needs.

This book really possesses what is necessary for people suffering a loss to have a way to express and cope. It has a unique way of helping the reader accept the loss and then have new horrizons. It goes beyond a "how to" approach to assist the reader with their own personal faith connections. It clearly illustrates how faith is not something added on..rather it is essential for a healthy and healing outcome. The section on suffering I found especially helpful. This book may be used and reused over and over again.

Very practical and healing approach to loss.

This book clearly lists practical steps to take in order to respond to a loss. It is very helpful and offers ways to experience the spiritual transformations which can happen during critical times.

Excellent book for the bereaved...also for groups..helps.

This book actually helps the bereaved to manage their losses rather than have the loss manage them. It is a book which is very readable and helpful. The books puts loss into a context of meaning. It helps the bereaved to express and find better ways of coping in light of a spiritual program. There are six steps or exercises which focus the grief stricken and help them to move on. There is also a prayer guide.
