Found Through Loss: Healing Stories from Scripture and Everyday Sacredness

by Nancy Reeves

Whether your loss is new or ancient, whether your grief is about death, a relationship estrangement, a move, or the shattering of a dream, any of these 30 stories may have something to say to you. Nancy Reeves' hope in sharing the tales in Found Through Healing Stories from Scripture and Everyday Sacredness is that readers will grow through their experience. Growth pushes the griever past limitations, enhances personal qualities, teaches healthier living patterns, and encourages the griever in the expression of their true self - a self that is made in God's image. The grieving people who shared their stories in this book were changed as their grieving diminished. In some way, they became "more" than they had been before their loss - they were found through loss. Concepts and strategies for healing provided in Found Through Loss can be used individually, in groups, or as material for sermons. Reeves reads selected stories on the two CDs provided in the book. The courage, the love, and the wisdom shown by these grievers are deeply touching.
