52-Week Devotional Journal for Grief: Prompts and Prayers for Navigating Loss

Helpful

Perfect for what was needed.

I have given this book to family and friends who have lost family members. They found it helpful.

I've covered a lot of miles in the Land of the Grieving. Friends, parents, beloved family, teachers and other significant personal losses each gave me a window into this thing we call "grief." Debbra in a straightforward, but very un-boring way reaches those pockets we protect because they are painful, or maybe we haven't quite moved ahead the way we would like. Through God's Word, a writing style that draws in the reader, as though you were conversing over a cup of coffee, and time tested strategies, Debbra recognizes the different ways we grieve and the way God can meet us at whatever place we find ourselves. It is rare to find a book that combines journaling ideas with confirmation of pain that doesn't either border on the maudlin or worse, make you feel like a moron for still feeling pain over a loss and assures you that a couple of fuzzy navels will solve the problem. Thank God SOMEONE has taken experiences from others and her own heartfelt grief to be vulnerable and yet show the wisdom of one who has seen God work in the lives of those who are indeed brokenhearted, including herself. We are made in the image of God, and working through week by week, Debbra helps you like a trusted friend on a journey that hopefully leads to understanding and peace.

It is nice and uses scripture a lot to get you thinking and working through your emotions. It does walk you through a lot of emotions but asks "what do you expect when...." Questions. I will finish it and see how well it helps. I look forward to continuing with its lessons.

Dealing with grief once a week not a good idea. Grief is a minute by minute attack on your being.

Debbra Bronstad has incredible wisdom & compassion from The Lord! She has a special gift to help process grief! Her acceptance, insights & healing have changed my life in the most incredible ways!! I absolutely recommend this grief journal!!

My mom loves her book to bring her spirits up
