The Risen: A Companion to Grief

by August Goforth, Michael Tymn

When one is in deep grief, the present is all there is—and that is often the hardest place to be. A loved one’s transition brings up memories of the past and worries about the future, but we don’t need comfort from the when’s and then’s as much as we need it now. Although this book is not meant to cure grief or solve problems it can serve as a companion for the present while raising your spirits a bit higher as your life continues on— transformed into something higher, something above Nature, something that might be called “supranatural.” This changed vibrational experience can also effect changes within the one grieving that cannot easily be put into words, and yet this book does just that. The language used is spiritual language, transmitted from many, many compassionate people who are now in a spiritual geography, and whom are referred to as “The Risen.” The newly-transformed vibrational state may also allow the grieving, while still on Earth, to connect with the Risen, in various ways, seen and unseen. This book is designed to stimulate and help discover and explore your most personal feelings; it will be different for each reader. It is not a book of definite answers but of continuous consideration. Each of us is our own Inner Scientist, Architect, Conductor, and Taste Tester — exploring, discovering, observing, and gathering information while continually asking questions and puzzling about many things. Interpenetrating this book is an adjustable framework designed to support, adapt and guide. Embracing it is an orchestrated Risen performance of grace, offering to bring uplifted meaning to the temporary but often terribly empty and lonely darkness of our grief.
