Everyday Comfort: Readings for the First Month of Grief

by Randy Becton

Book Overview

During the first month of grieving, feelings are intense, emotions run deep, and the need for comfort is ever-present. Grievers seem incapable of reaching out for help and comforters cannot always be present-especially in the bleak predawn or late-night hours.

Every Day Comfort

I was given a copy of this book after my husband died, and found it most helpful. The sub-title is misleading, as is not limited to the first 30 days of grief-- actually meant more to me later in the grief process. I have purchased and given away 18 copies. Six years after the death of my husband, I still pick this book up and re-read portions.

Understated title for this excellent book!

My mother died in November of 1996 after years of battling MS and cancer. I thought I was ready, but it hit me like a ton of bricks! I was unwillingly admitted to the "Mom's Gone Club", felt isolated and the range of emotions associated with the death of a loved one. I was given a copy of this book, and it touched my heart and soul like no other. It helped keep my focus, in manageable ways, on God and His ultimate comfort and hope. I keep several copies on hand to give to others who are facing grief. Kudos to Mr. Becton for this great work!

Right on!

This book really is comforting. I didn't start it until about a month after my husband of only 8 1/2 months passed away, but now I'm reading it a second time around. It's uncanny how timely each day's reading has been. I'm ordering it now for a friend who was recently widowed. I highly recommend it.
