Finally, a book that’s brutally honest about the hard work of grieving AND will give you a reason to hope for a brighter tomorrow despite your heartache. That is the heartbeat of The Honest Griever. It chronicles the author's journey after the death of her husband of 31 years. Through the heartbreak, she openly shares her struggles and her victories -- and how God walked beside her, teaching her to stand on his unfailing promises.

Do you want to disappear down a different aisle in the grocery store when you see a grieving friend walk through the front door? That's exactly what the author did. Then her husband of 31 years died, and she got a crash course - the hard way - on what was helpful during this devastating time, and what was unintentionally hurtful. Feeling ill-equipped to be a natural nurturer is a nearly universal phenomenon. Cultivating Compassion will give you a roadmap to teach you what to do or say that will help your hurting friend.
