On Grief and Gratitude: Or Surprised by Meaning
Many find it difficult to make sense of their emotions when they experience loss. We are often sad because of what we no longer have yet thankful for what we still possess.
That can be frustrating, confusing, and even paralyzing. In On Grief and Gratitude, Dr. Magers guides the reader through a process of how to make sense of your feelings during difficult times and how to embrace both your grief and your gratitude. After reading this book, you will better understand why it is essential to experience your difficult emotions and why doing so does, in fact, change things. Christian readers will also find particular benefit in considering how to hold their hope in the resurrection in tension with their grief at present sufferings.
The appendix of this book contains practical, helpful tools for processing your emotions and directions for how to lament with God.
