Everyday Comfort: Meditations for Seasons of Grief

People who are mourning the loss of a dear friend or beloved family member often feel alone, abandoned, and helpless. And those who want to comfort them can feel inadequate and at a loss for words. In Everyday Comfort grievers will find thirty daily devotions to help them through their heartache. Respecting the griever's anguish and emotional turmoil, these devotions avoid platitudes and offer genuine empathy and wisdom. Subjects like recovery, facing death, normal grief and abnormal grief, and using the Psalms daily will help those who grieve examine the path through despair and take the next steps toward living life again.

Do you feel like people are rushing you through your grief?

"Grief is not a job performance," says author Randy Becton. But when everyone's timetable has run out, and your grief hasn't, what can you do? Everyday Comfort gives you permission to grieve in your way and at your own pace.

Becton points you to the book of Scripture most often quoted by Jesus--the Psalms--to help you through spiritual survival after a loved one dies. By investing a few minutes each day in reading Everyday Comfort, you will find both ancient and contemporary companions ready to just be with you as you grieve. Whether you read a chapter every day or can only take one tiny step a week, this book will be your uncritical and silent partner in pain.

Spiritual and emotional healing is possible after a loved one dies. Everyday Comfort can help you find it.
