Grief Books

Healing After Loss: Daily Meditations for Working Through Grief – Martha Whitmore Hickman 

Joe’s aunt gave a copy of this at his wake. It is not geared towards any one religion. Ms. Hickman used her grief experience to write an excellent book that helped me work through my grief. I have also given this book to others who find themselves on a grief journey.

Postcards from the Widows’ Path, Gleaming Hope and Purpose from the Book of Ruth – Ferree Hardy.    

This book combines a study of the book of Ruth with Ferree’s first-hand account of her journey down the widow’s path.  However, it is not just for widows.  It is a great education for anyone looking to learn more about the book of Ruth and what it takes to survive widowhood.

God’s Healing for Life’s Losses, How to Find Hope When You’re Hurting – Robert W. Kellemen, Ph.D.

A book that will help you work through any time of loss, from death – to job loss and anything in-between.

Through a Season of Grief: Your Journey from Mourning to Joy –Bill Dunn & Kathy Leonard – also available via daily email by signing up on Griefshare.org.
