In this brief book Allan Hugh Cole explains the process of grief and what loss can do to us, identifies ways of coping, and reminds us of the hope that we can find in mourning. Ultimately, Cole offers a plan of "good mourning"--a way to work through the loss and rebuild life with new strength. Cole describes what it takes to be engaged in good mourning instead of endless suffering and demonstrates how faith and prayer can be practical tools in rebuilding life after loss.
Dr. Cole presents a concise, easy to follow explanation of our how we can cope with mourning in a healthy way. I could see myself buying a case of these books, and having them on hand to give to others as they struggle with grief and mourning.
