Grieving God's Way: The Path to Lasting Hope and Healing

The death of a family member or friend is devastating. In fact, it can take five years or more for a person to adequately work through his or her grief, but because we live in a fast-paced society, we often sweep it under the rug or ignore it altogether. God has another plan.

Man s Way: Numb the pain

God's Way: Heal the pain

Man's Way: Don't talk about it

God's Way: Share your pain

Man's Way: Time heals

God's Way: Faith heals

Grieving God s Way is a 90-day reader designed to bring hope and healing to those who
have experienced loss. Each thoughtful devotional begins with a scripture and ends with a
haiku, written to affirm the positive theme of the text. Divided into four categories-body, soul, heart, and spirit-each day s entry offers insight into the grieving process that increases understanding of God s purposeful plan for healing the heart and soul.

Margaret Brownley never dreamed that one day she would write a book on grief. The published author of 22 novels, and more than 400 articles, Margaret s writing career took an abrupt turn when her oldest son, Kevin, died following a long illness, and she began writing articles on grief to help ease her own pain. Margaret lives in Southern California with her husband, George, happily surrounded by five grandchildren, and is presently at work on her Brides of Last Chance Ranch series.
