This book is about grief. If you decide to read it, it likely means that you or someone you care about is hurting. And you're looking for help. You're on a road trip that you didn't plan to take. More accurately, you're on a long DETOUR called grief. If that's where you're at, maybe this guidebook can help you traverse the rugged roads ahead. It offers two tools. First, you will find helpful tasks. Using practical and down-to-earth stories and strategies, you will learn and work on the four tasks of healthy grieving originally set forth by grief expert and psychologist Dr. J. William Worden. Second, you will find hopeful truths. Using biblical teaching on God's presence during seasons of grief and loss, as well the stories of Christians past and present who have journeyed through grief, you'll see how God brings healing and hope. Written by a seasoned pastor, licensed professional counselor, and hospice bereavement counselor, this book is designed to help you heal and grow through grief.
