Publisher's Description
The loss of a loved one is devastating, and the grief that follows is often crippling. While modern Western culture has adopted an aren't-you-over-it-yet? attitude toward death and the grief it brings, the grieving process can take years. Weeks and months go by with no visible improvement. We might even wonder if God has forsaken us. Then one day it happens: We laugh. We feel connnected, restless, maybe even hopeful. We're no longer consumed by our loss, and our thoughts turn outward. These are the first signs of healing. Though the tendency in our fast-paced society is to suppress our grief or ignore it all together, Grieving God's Way inspires a different course of action. In this 90-day devotional Margaret Brownley provides the framework for a methodical grieving process that follows God's plan. Grieving God's way requires us to trust that He will lead us through the darkness, heal our pain, take away our weariness, and fill our hearts with hope, peace, and new purpose. From defining what grief is to validating its importance, Brownley gives us the components necessary to find God within our sorrow and grieve with Him. Divided into four sections, Grieving God's Way offers insight into healing our grieving body, soul, heart, and spirit. Infused with scriptures and inspirational haiku by Diantha Ain, this book motivates us to shift our grieving from man's way to God's way... slow and often invisible but with truly amazing results. So how long does it take to grieve? As long as it takes God to heal.

“Grieving God’s Way? Margaret’s insightful writing and Diantha Ain’s inspiring haiku point the way through grief to new life. As a woman who has experienced the grief of losing a husband and three children in a plane crash, I can say a loud amen to all that is written in this book.”
“Margaret Brownley and Diantha Ain are two multitalented women who understand the heaviness of grief, having each lost a child. They also understand the healing power of friendship, faith, love, and just being there. If you or someone you know has suffered a recent loss, or is still hurting from a past loss, I highly recommend this book. I’m a longtime fan of both of these writers. Their caring hearts, together with their gift of words, will make the journey to healing a little easier for grieving souls.”
“In Grieving God’s Way, Ms. Brownley writes with a smooth and elegant style acutely profound in genuine feeling as she dispenses helpful advice. An excellent book embracing the boundless promise of faith. Highly recommended.”
