Overview

In this inspiring book of 30 meditations for the grieving, best-selling author, Richard L. Morgan, offers insight and spiritual counsel for those experiencing grief due to the death of a loved one, or the "living death" of Alzheimer’s disease or other terminal illnesses. Each meditation is connected with a Bible story or verse and readings from valued authors and poets for personal reflection. This month-long collection of meditations uniquely speaks to the entire span of grief: from when death comes, through the difficult first days, to recovery when life for the grieving begins again.

"It is impossible to comprehend the anguish and sorrow of loss until death comes to someone you love. With the death of a loved one, a part of yourself has died, too. During more than 50 years of pastoral ministry, I have been with many families who grieve. Their stories inspired me to write these meditations for others who mourn. These meditations of Scripture, poetry, personal and other devotional thoughts were written to help you as you work through your own grief. I hope and pray that whenever death enters your life, robs you of loved ones, and launches you into uncharted waters of the grief journey, these meditations will offer spiritual help."
-Richard L. Morgan
