Product Information

We have to remember, when we forgive we’re not doing it just for the other person, we’re doing it for our own good. When we hold on to unforgiveness and we live with grudges in our hearts, all we’re doing is building walls of separation. – Joel Osteen I’m sharing this because I want to let everyone know that you will be with your loved ones again, and your loved ones are truly there with you in spirit. I am speaking from personal experiences, it is true. The same God that brought you together with your loved ones that have passed will also reunite you with them. “And, after death, they were gathered to their people,” as the scriptures speak of. O SON OF JUSTICE! In the night-season the beauty of the immortal Being hath repaired from the emerald height of fidelity unto the Sadratu’l-Muntahá, and wept with such a weeping that the concourse on high and the dwellers of the realms above wailed at ... His lamenting . . .” There were some references I had no idea what they meant “I pulled a Kanye,” went completely over my head. Then, the use of “thug,” as an adjective (what exactly is a thug-tear?), not just once, but SEVERAL times.

Dying is not like you see on TV or in the movies.It is not peaceful or prepared.You may not have a spiritual or meaningful moment. It’s too real.” One thing that didn’t help me was when God was brought into the mix. I know this person meant well, but when she said God was done with him and that’s why he died, I was speechless. So not everyone believes in God and saying things like this, or it was Gods way, God wanted him home, just doesn’t make the person feel any better. A manifesto for life.An electric roadmap to healing and a manifesto for wholeness, Happy, Okay?: Poems about Anxiety, Depression, Hope, and Survival, is written in a contemporary style reminiscent of Rupi Kaur and Pierre Alex Jeanty. But this poetry book is not simply a narrative spun in verse. It is an invitation to readers to shake off the stigma and silence of mental health and find strength in the only voice that matters: your own. Whether exploring self-care, social anxiety, or anxiety in relationship, in this inspiring and heartwarming book, you will:I am very sorry for your loss and I hope that God (I’m not sure if you want to hear anything about him as I sometimes do) fills your heart with the strength to keep going. Your other kids will be devastated without you. I can’t help but to feel deeply related to your story because I am suffering the loss of my husband who died at home while I did nothing to help and everyday and night I’m hunted by guilt.

This little book came out of Ty's blogging about her experience going through and continuing to go through grief. She found a lot of support online from friends and followers, so probably the biggest message of this book is, don't isolate yourself in your grief. Reach out, and let other people comfort you and be there for you. Admit you need them. Came across this article during another sleepless night. I lost my dad 4 months ago. I am completely broken. I turned 30 a month ago and feel I have aged a decade with all the sleepless nights and tears. This article couldn’t be more relatable, though – it’s nice to know that all the things I’m experiencing are normal, and I’m not not going crazy after all. After he and my mom divorced, he stopped drinking, straightened out some things in life and was close to celebrating his 25th anniversary with my stepmother when he died. They had 2 kids together. We were literally 2 different families though, who came together as one while he was having rough times with his illnesses and more so when he died. I’ve struggled with trying to keep the family from becoming 2 separate families again, and have pretty much given up.

I wish I had read this before I lost my mom a few years ago and a dear friend soon after..." - Nina Lesowitz, author of Living Life as a Thank You Until that day..I share that very lovely and difficult journey of grief with all those on the same journey. My dad accepted Jesus as his Lordcsnd Savior on his deathbed. Something I had prayed for years of sharing the gospel with him.

This is a terrible thing tell a grieving person. It is not an absolute truth, and is not true for all people. Some people are more resilient than others, and resilience is not a sign of denial or suppression of feelings. We can learn to make those events joyful, where we remember the loved one with fondness rather than despondence.The middle chapters were better. I liked the parts that were about the author’s mother; her personality and antics.

Some of these statements were made as if they were absolute truths, and it made me wonder if the person who wrote this list had any knowledge of contemporary grief theory and counseling. I would strongly urge you to rewrite the following statements. It can be as simple as inserting the words “sometimes” or “can be” or “for some people” so that you’re not making blanket statements as if they apply to everybody in every situation. For what it’s worth, here are my comments: I think it's an important book, we should talk more about that kind of subject. We need to learn that this is part of life. They don’t tell you that you will fixate on your future losses. You will resent your pets because you know their short lives are guaranteed. They are just something that will hurt you. You will fear for your parent’s deaths even more. I for one know that my horrors are ahead of me. My pain has only just begun.
