Couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel...

I highly recommend "When Mourning Comes" to anyone who can't see the light at the end of the tunnel. That's how I felt, engulfed in my grief over the loss of my mother. This book helped me make the change from being angry over my loss to treasuring the time that I had with her. To see what her goals were and to try to fulfill them for her. I loved all the wonderful stories in this book, especially the ones about "This too shall pass" and the scratch turned into a rose. Thanks so much for this book.

Excellent book I recommend it to parents who are in greif.

I found this book to be very helpful in my time of need and greif. I truly enjoyed the way the authors told stories, about peoples lives and how they all went through of understanding God, life and death.

A compassionate work that offers hope for the grieving

I found this book to be very different from others I've read for those grieving the loss of a loved one. This book offers hope for the future. It is a compassionate work that weaves the knowledge of God's love and help in our time of loss.
