Otherwise we find ourselves falling into silly platitudes.<br /><br />I haven't thought about that song in such a long time. I was involved in worship ministry at one time and I remember when we first started using that song in worship. It is a nice one.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing yourself and this book. I have a friend who lost her only child and I'm always on the look out for books that can help me to be a caring friend.DebDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12594843598589340808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-58864549668995596732010-01-08T21:55:31.399-08:002010-01-08T21:55:31.399-08:00I'm glad you reviewed this.

When faced with all that we don't know we MUST rely on what we KNOW. Praise God, He Himself is our comfort and our peace no matter what comes...<br /><br />Glad you reviewed here.Lisa Spencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990706355525884593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-45702240786858200362010-01-06T18:53:10.321-08:002010-01-06T18:53:10.321-08:00I've never suffered a loss that great, but I c...I've never suffered a loss that great, but I can relate to being terrified of losing what family you have. I have to admit that since I got married I fear often for my husband when he's not around. And now that I'm pregnant I'm often fearful of miscarrying or of complications during birth.<br /><br />I'm not sure how that specifically relates to grieving. Except that grieving is probably my greatest fear... I admire you so for all you've gone through.Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17416265133804487369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-77231377552289098482010-01-06T12:37:17.778-08:002010-01-06T12:37:17.778-08:00What a tough topic to write about, but you did it ...What a tough topic to write about, but you did it with transparancy and honesty. I was touched. This sounds like a book I need to read to help me understand those who are grieving. Since I haven't experienced a lot of grief I'm at a loss with what to do or say. Thanks for the recommendation.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05397141781902277266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-45368288807181130472010-01-06T10:33:52.531-08:002010-01-06T10:33:52.531-08:00Wow!

What was more difficult was that my mom really didn't grieve Biblically. Much of it was sinful. What was worse was that she was completely insensitive to the fact that I was grieving for a loved one as well. Because I am merely a "grand-daughter" my grief didn't count. A great deal of her behavior changed a lot about our relationship.Brooke from The Bluestocking Guidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07832634751075478091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-13839691100946036192010-01-06T07:40:42.460-08:002010-01-06T07:40:42.460-08:00This sounds like a valuable book.

Not as often as the first year. But I've learned to roll with it, experience it, and know the intensity will pass.<br /><br />One thing God does through situations like this is to take all that head knowledge and cause us to work it out into practical everyday life, so that when we then minister to others, it's not just theory, it's tested reality.Barbara H.http://barbarah.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-8502310466593864602010-01-06T07:28:49.279-08:002010-01-06T07:28:49.279-08:00I have tears...I have tears...Annette W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02498639468291720406noreply@blogger.com
