A beloved spouse dies. Your husband, wife, and life partner is gone. Your world is upended. The emotional pain can be intense. Your heart begins asking questions. "Am I going crazy? Am I going to make it? Where is God in all this?" Many of the people around you don't know what to say or do. They utter clichés and platitudes. "It's okay. You're strong. You'll get through this."

A loved one dies. Your world is upended. The emotional pain can be intense. Your heart begins asking questions. "Am I going crazy? Am I going to make it? Where is God in all this"? Many of the people around you don't know what to say or do. They utter cliches and platitudes. You need something more than this - far more. You need to know that it's okay to hurt, to be sad, and to grieve. And most of all, you need the comfort of God's presence. You need to experience his compassion and love. You need to know he is walking with you in your pain and grief.

In Grief Day by Day, Jan Warner draws on her own extensive experience and the experiences of the 2 million followers on her Grief Speaks Out Facebook page to offer hope in its most practical form. This audiobook does not look to offer a solution to grief. Rather, it provides supportive, useful guidance to help you create a life in which peace, and even gratitude, can coexist with your grief. There is no “right way” to grieve, and there is no right way to use this book.

Peyton Salvage suffered the death of a loved one at an early age and learned that the way we approach death as a society does nothing to serve those struggling to cope with losing someone dear to them. Losing a loved one is one of the most traumatic and heartbreaking events in a person's life. And yet, as a society, we're uncomfortable with allowing people to grieve in the way most natural to them, leaving mourners feeling isolated and ashamed of their grief.

For as long as humans have existed, we have struggled when a loved one dies. Poets and playwrights have written about the dark cloak of grief, the deep yearning, how devastating heartache feels. But until now, we have had little scientific perspective on this universal experience. In The Grieving Brain, neuroscientist and psychologist Mary-Frances O’Connor, PhD, gives us a fascinating new window into one of the hallmark experiences of being human.

On Death and Dying began as a theoretical book, an interdisciplinary study of our fear of death and our inevitable acceptance of it. It introduced the world to the now-famous five stages: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. On Grief and Grieving applies these stages to the process of grieving and weaves together theory, inspiration, and practical advice, all based on Kübler-Ross' and Kessler's professional and personal experiences.

Publisher's Summary
This loss changes everything...
The loss of a life partner can be traumatic. Oblivious to our suffering, the world around us speeds on as if nothing happened. Stunned, shocked, sad, confused, and angry, we blink in disbelief. Our hearts are broken. Our souls shake. We look for comfort. Our broken, grieving hearts need it to survive.
Multiple award-winning author, hospice chaplain, and grief counselor Gary Roe is a trusted voice who has been helping wounded, grieving hearts find hope and healing for more than three decades. Authored with heartfelt compassion, this warm, easy-to-listen, and practical book acts like a caring conversation with a friend and will become a comforting companion as you navigate the turbulent waters of grief.
Gary’s desire is to meet you in your grief and walk with you there. Composed of brief chapters, Comfort for the Grieving Spouse's Heart is designed to be listened to one chapter per day, giving you bite-sized bits of comfort, encouragement, and healing over a period of time. You do not have to listen to it this way, of course. We all grieve differently. Listen to it in the way that is most natural for you.
In Comfort for the Grieving Spouse's Heart, you will discover how to:
- Process complicated grief emotions (sadness, anger, guilt, confusion, anxiety, depression, overwhelm, etc)
- Navigate all the relational changes - feeling alone, misunderstood, isolated, and even rejected by those around you
- Handle the increased stress and uncertainty that this heavy loss can bring
- Deal with physical and mental health issues, illnesses, and new symptoms that often arise
- Take care of yourself through diet, hydration, fitness, and rest
- Deal with a myriad of practical issues (financial challenges, parenting, family activities)
- Handle the intense, deep loneliness that often comes with this loss
You will also find hope in how to:
- Think through the challenging spiritual and faith questions that frequently surface
- Relate well to the people around you - those who are helpful and those who aren't
- Overcome the tendency to run from emotional pain with unhealthy habits or compulsive behaviors
- Deal well with triggers and the grief bursts that will come
- Find the support you need for survival, recovery, and healing (safe people, fellow grievers, counseling, etc)
- Develop a simple, realistic plan for birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays. Use your grief for good - for yourself, your family, and others
- Allow this loss to give you greater perspective and motivate you to live more effectively than ever before
- Make your life count, one day, one moment at a time
Please don’t grieve alone. Let Comfort for the Grieving Spouse's Heart join you on this arduous, tasking journey. Be kind to yourself. Take your heart seriously. Death has invaded, but it doesn't have to win. Listen on. Comfort awaits you in the narration of this book.
