The Unwelcome Journey (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781602664050)

There are many books written to the bereaved and many messages given about how the bereaved might try to deal with their loss. I have written this book with three special things in mind: (1) that the grieving soul might get a clear understanding that the thoughts and feelings he/she is experiencing are not just unique to him/her - but that many, many others are having feelings and thoughts much like what they are having; (2) that from the experiences of many who have travelled this unwelcome journey before have come some ways that seem to help us on the journey; and (3) that I may give some new insights to the Christian Community and others, so that they may develop more effective ways to 'be there' for the grieving friend or relative. -From "Introduction" YVONNE D.
