About this title

Synopsis

What it means to be with those who grieve . . .

"Through their courage, twenty people bravely told me their stories of grief. Sometimes through tears, sometimes stoically, sometimes needing to take a few months' respite between interviews because the pain was too great. But they had stories they were willing to tell. In part to work through some of their own grief process. In part to help those who are grieving.

"Despite the loneliness of grief, we have each other. We have our stories. And we must tell them, even if we don't know why. For in the telling—and in the listening—is the healing."

Review

With Those Who Grieve is a compilation of twenty honest, healing interviews with women and men of all ages who have experienced the devastating pain of grief. From a 40-year-old son whose life was shattered by his mother's suicide, to a community forever changed by the death of a 7-year-old girl, the very personal and frank stories offered here invite readers to examine their own grief and to grow through their shared experiences. Also included are practical guidelines for coping with the loss of a loved one, as well as resources for support and outreach. Kay Soder-Alderfer brings to this project an extensive background as counselor and writer, expert in the areas of death and dying, health and wholeness, prayer, and spirituality. -- Midwest Book Review
