Description:
Grieving is one of the universal experiences of human life. No one escapes without drinking from its bitter cup. Yet, for some, grief is the end of joy while for others it is the means to greater unity with our Lord. What makes the difference?Glenn M. Spencer, Jr. proposes that the differences lie in whether we see grief as an enemy or as a means of grace. In the first part of this practical handbook for those who mourn, Spencer looks at the many causes of grief including chronic illness, aging, the wear and tear of life, and, of course, death. The remaining portion of the book is devoted to ways we can use our time of grieving to reach out to others through the Blessed Sacrament, the Works of Mercy, as well as looking at the ways grief and anger are related, and ways to use both Scripture and fellow Christian companions to share our stories of grief and ultimately come to be transformed with the balm of gladness rather than the oil of mourning. -- Glenn M. Spencer, Jr. -- Paperback
