Top Highlights

“Well, grief is not handled well alone. God made us social beings, and when we lose a loved one, we desire and need the help and assistance of others.” (Page 23)

“Fear feeds on isolation, and isolation feeds on fear.” (Page 36)

“The grieving process is not a line, neither is it a circle. Instead, we might best describe it as a spiral. From one viewpoint, a spiral looks like a circle, but from another you can see that progress is being made in one direction or another. That spiral can be headed up or down. In either case, a person traveling along that spiral may visit one stage of grief more than once, but if progress is being made, one will have learned from that stage before, and if healing is taking place, one will not stay in that stage as long as before. Each time we meet those feelings, we are a little better able to handle them, a little better able to go on with our lives.” (Pages 29–30)

“One does not seek to escape grief, but to embrace it, work through it, allow it to heal the hurt, so that we can move on with our lives in full light and recognition of what has happened and how God has changed our lives as a result.” (Page 23)

“long-lasting habits. The pain is just as severe, but the process of grieving that” (Page 25)

    A nice little book on an important topic. Dr. White is known as a top notch theologian and scholar. In this book you see that his time as a hospital chaplain shows that his faith is an active and useful one. In the book he covers what grief looks like and what oaths it could take such as an upward spiral or a downward spiral. He also covers pitfalls one should look for as well as working through a few tough questions like "Why?" and "I'm mad at God." This isn't a "heady" book nor does it claim to be or add anything new. What it is is a very honest look at the pain of loss. The one area the book doesn't cover that I would have loved to seen was addressing the subject with non-believers. There are some parts that cover it but this book is mostly for believers. This is a good guide for those going through loss or those who interact with people that are going through. Final Grade - B
