An excellent companion for those who are walking through the valley of the shadow of death due to the passing of a loved one. Combines superb insights on coping with grief along with the healing that comes from the spiritual resources of our Orthodox Christian faith down through the ages. Two-page chapters on facing pages are designed for daily reading and meditation. A most helpful gift for the bereaved individual or for church grief groups.
Father Anthony Coniaris, a Greek Orthodox Christian priest serving the Church for over fifty years, offers the comfort and wisdom of the faith to those who mourn. Drawing upon a wide range of sources, including his own life experiences, Father Anthony presents a Christian perspective on grief to be read and re-read by those who have suffered loss and by those who would offer comfort. One memorable passage is the comparison of the loss of a loved one to an amputation. A part of us is gone and yet we go on living. As a priest, I have given away over fifty copies of this volume, and will continue to do so. I give this great book my most heartfelt recommendation.
Intelligent and magnificant writing
