Blessings for a Grieving Mother (ePub)

When a mother's worst fear happens...

These devotions will guide and encourage her and those who wish to help her. This book has grown from the premise that when God allows tragedy, he sends blessings to bring about his calling of perfection on our lives. Since the years when my two daughters died of cancer, I have found grief to be a time of gentle spiritual awakening-when eyes are opened to new realities and hearts find peace and answers. This book holds stories from friends and my own life which I pray will point you to Jesus in the Psalms. There you will discover the beautiful work he is weaving in your life and the hope to which you've been called.

Joan Moss relies on Scripture to bring hope to mothers suffering the relentless grief of losing a child…. Her freeing and strengthening devotional covers the many facets of grief she has personally experienced-despair, anger, guilt, loneliness and more. Joan knows first hand that only God can heal us, and he is more than willing. Let her walk you into the loving and merciful words of Jesus with each chapter. She has written an essential, comprehensive and beautiful book. -Lara Stark, Author of Bridal Veil Fireweed, The Tale of the Woodswalker and Calla Lily Dreams

Grief… is a difficult and often surprising experience. One surprise may be (its) wide variety of emotions. This devotional is a… guide to the comforting relevance of the Psalms as messages of reassurance that God is with us. -Carolyn Havlen, Facilitator at GriefShare, New Mexico

This book invites itself to be given as a gift to women who need its message of hope.-Teena Marcus, Women's Book Study Leader, Hope Church, New Mexico

I lost my 27-year-old daughter over thirty years ago. The Lord has healed a lot of my pain. Joan's book still touched me very deeply. As a Biblical counselor and senior pastor, I see this as a good resource which I highly recommend. -Rev. Patricia H. Bergsland, retired pastor and mother of Ann Scott, New York
