Exactly what I needed

Navigating Grief and Loss: A 60 Day Devotional Journal with Daily Scripture, Prayer, and Space to Reflect and Heal is a book I needed.
A week before I started reading this book my brother-in-law died unexpectedly. Words couldn't express my grief. I needed something to help with the loss of such an awesome man.
This book along with scriptures helped and I read it on the flight to go plan his funeral and burial.
Each chapter reflects on how I'm feeling and Biblical scripture to guide me. I was feeling all the grief and loss not only myself but also for my husband. We read the Scriptures together and talked about how we both felt with Charles death. I recommend anyone going through grief and loss read this book. The journal allows the reader to write down and reflect on their feelings.
The anger my husband is experiencing is understandable and now he's able to heal by reading this book. It couldn't have come at a better time.
I know both of us still feels the pain of loss but now we can heal.
