Overview

If you’ve lost a spouse, child, family member, or friend, you’ve discovered that few people understand the deep hurt you feel. Where do you turn for daily comfort and help? Where do you find the tools to move forward? Through a Season of Grief is the first 365-day devotional designed to support and uplift you in the first, most difficult year of bereavement.

As you read through the pages of this 365-day devotional, you will better understand the grieving process and will receive needed encouragement along the way.

These devotions offer biblical comfort and practical teaching that will enable you to take steps forward each day toward healing, including devotions specifically geared toward supporting you through your grief such as:

• How to embrace the grieving process
• How to cope when the meal train ends
• Who to turn to when you can’t control your emotions

More than thirty respected Christian professionals—including Anne Graham Lotz, Kay Arthur, Jack Hayford, Elisabeth Elliot, Norman Wright, Barbara Johnson, and Luis Palau—share their insights on how to walk through the devastation of grief toward wholeness and hope. You will hear from people like you who have lost a loved one and have found God’s healing presence amid despair.

This unique devotional is based on GriefShare®, a national grief recovery support group program that has helped more than 100,000 families.
