About this title

Synopsis:

In his counseling work, Harold Ivan Smith has heard all the questions ― even the most obscure, personal, and difficult ones ― that occur to grievers as they process their loss. Here he compiles more than 150 common questions, explores the emotions behind them, and provides clear and forthright responses. Whether readers find the answers they seek, new perspectives to ponder, or comfort from knowing that others ask similar questions, this valuable resource will guide individuals who are in the midst of grief and those who wish to provide comfort.

Review:

"Don't be fooled by the format of this written treasure for the bereaved. It is a book that speaks from the heart of a gifted author and caregiver to the bereaved who seek to work through the pain of the loss they now experience. The questions and answers provide starting points...and cover a wide range of issues. Buy the book...and distribute it generously. It will bless many in new and healing ways." -- The Rev. Richard B. Gilbert, BCC, CT, phD, Director, The World Pastoral Care Center and Director of Chaplaincy Services, author of Finding Your Way after Your Parent Dies: Hope for Adults "Absolutely terrific! All the right questions. Better still, truly wise answers." -- Megory Anderson, author of Sacred Drying: Creating Rituals for Embracing the End of Life
