Riassunto

This three-book collection, Good Grief: The Complete Set, offers Good Grief, a foundation for understanding grief; The Good Grief Devotional, a collection of valuable insights for those who grieve; and The Good Grief Journal, a pathway for expressing, exploring, and growing from a significant loss.

Good Grief has helped millions of readers find comfort and rediscover hope after loss. It identifies ten stages of grief--shock, emotion, depression, physical distress, panic, guilt, anger, resistance, hope, and acceptance--but, recognizing that grief is complex and deeply personal, defines no right way to grieve.

In The Good Grief Devotional, fifty-two reflections on the stages of grief examine what each stage means for the reader's self-understanding and relationships with other people, creation, and God.

The Good Grief Journal includes a meditation on each stage of grief, followed by prompts, Scripture passages, poems, and quotes from a variety of sages to help journalers reflect deeply on their loss.

Whether mourning the death of a loved one, the end of a marriage, the loss of a job, or other difficult life changes, readers will want to return to these wise resources year after year as they are shaped by their journey.
