About this title

Synopsis

A Different Season is about hope and healing. In a succinct manner, grief work is addressed to help those mourning, understand some characteristics of grieving. Grief is very personal yet shares some common universal characteristics. This book provides practical advice to help individuals in their grief work. Since spirituality for many people is central to their emotional well-being, the book includes inclusive meditations based on the Psalms. A Different Season, is not like the four seasons in nature we have experienced; it does not follow the logical sequence as we know it. The chapters beginning with Wintertime, have been intentionally rearranged to reflect the way many people feel and act during their grief journey. Life's course is very much changed when loss occurs. Benefits from the book include: Brief, specific information that is easy to understand A deeper understanding of grief work Practical strategies to help deal with pain Meditations to comfort the spirit A self-assessment inventory to chart progress
