The beautiful cover in shades of blue lists four topics
covered in the booklet. Immediately we are informed that grief doesn’t
necessarily mean a death has occurred. Grief can include loss of friends, a
job, a home, or a spouse by divorce. There are secondary losses which interrupt our lives and change our daily
routines. Sprinkled through the 14 page
pamphlet are wonderful promises from Jesus to comfort us through the stages of grief. Finding Comfort in Jesus helps us know that sorrow
is normal and scripture illustrate the trials and suffering of Bible characters
such as David, Jeremiah, and Naomi. Jesus is our prime example of one who
endured grief, betrayal, and suffering. The story of Job the suffering servant in the
Old Testament helps answer the age old question of why God allows this. The biblical
character of Joseph is enlisted to help us find meaning in loss. Greater
empathy for others, developing healthier priorities, a deeper communion with
God, and new and renewed relationships give us a hope and a future. A special
page with bible verses explaining Heaven comforts us. To realize God has
prepared our final home in our life’s journey and to realize the glorious
future and reunion waiting for us on the other side is the reason for our
comfort. This PDF file was given to me for my honest review by Rose Publishing.
