Restore My Soul: A Grief Companion

Rating:
Summary: Gentle guidance
Review: I love the book! I think it is a wonderful book to give a friend who has just lost a child or soon after to help them begin to grieve in a gentle loving way. I lost my son almost 6 years ago and I enjoy reading it. God's word has always been my saving grace through the grief of my son. His love can give comfort that no one else can.

Summary: Compassionately, articulately addresses ways to cope
Review: In Restore My Soul: A Grief Companion, Lorraine Peterson presents an informative, "reader friendly" guide for Christians needing to face and understand their feelings in coping with the loss of a loved one. The emotions arising from the death of a friend, family member, or colleague can be devastating as unresolved grief threatens to result in emotional, psychological, or spiritual isolation. The thirty-one short, easy-to-read chapters compassionately and articulately address ways and means to cope with life after loss. Each chapter presents a brief reflection on the issue of loss, followed by carefully selected Scripture readings and a suggested prayer. Restore My Soul is urgently recommended reading for anyone (regardless of denominational affiliation) whose soul has been savaged by the loss of a parent, spouse, child, relative, friend, companion, or colleague.
