From the Back Cover

Moving Beyond Grief

Ruth Sissom's progressive recovery from her husband's sudden death has given her authentic credentials for ministering to those who grieve:  wisdom, compassion, and love.

She has discovered, and presented to others, principles that helped her on the road to healing. And along the way she has met extraordinary people whose stories she details in MOVING BEYOND GRIEF--ones who grieve deaths due to Alzheimer's, murder, AIDS, cancer, accident and suicide. The healing process for each person has similarities, as well as unique characteristics.

Here readers will meet those who have learned to triumph through the struggles of life without their loved ones. Sissom uses their stories to relate their biggest obstacles and most poignant suggestions for others coping with loss. And throughout the narrative she explains how friends and family can help ease the pain of grief, how to find fulfillment in each new day, and how God can enter into the healing process.

People who are grieving or know someone who is, will find encouragement and hope in these stories of courageous people who share what helped most to heal their broken hearts.
