Decembered Grief
by Harold Ivan Smith
Living with loss while others are celebrating. A spiritual path to enduring the holidays while grieving a significant loss in your life or helping someone you care about, that is hurting - get through the holidays.
Sometimes the only way through it – is through it. page 50
My husband, Peter and I are facing our third set of holidays without our precious son, Joel. Our grief is year round and becomes intensified at the holidays. As a bereaved mother and caregiver to families when a child has died, I appreciate the simple format in this comforting little book. It offers real advice that is helpful, healthy and inspiring in dealing with loss of any kind. Mr. Harold Smith becomes a friend, lending a shoulder of truth to rely on and a hand of hope to the reader.
The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are everlasting arms. Deuteronomy 33:27 page 20
A Decembered Grief is a gentle yet understanding guide to help transform the holiday seasons into a time of grace and healing. A life changing loss is a long term process of learning to live with grief, having support during the holidays is a true blessing. For those with fresh or long term grief, caregivers, caring family and friends - I highly recommend this easy to read guidebook.
Please give me a loving heart that tries to understand how other people feel. W. Beckett page 20
