Grieving God’s Way:

The Path to Lasting Hope and Healing by Margaret Brownley

Margaret Brownley uses what she has learned through her own journey of grief to help others that follow the same path.  After losing her son, Brownley lost her way.  Brownley, who has written more than twenty novels, found herself unable to write – thus, she began her journey.  Knowing how the way the bereaved mind works, she divided her writing into four sections.  This book, a 90-day devotional, is perfect for the grieving heart, leading the reader to begin to find hope after loss.

After losing my own daughter in January, I was looking for answers when I picked up this book.  As I was reading, I felt that I had finally found someone that completely understood what I was going through at the time.  The small sections were perfect for my new shortened attention span.  Writing as someone who has been through this process, Brownley gave names to my feelings, allowed me to know that I was not alone and certainly not the only one to feel these things after losing a child.  Combining scriptures, haikus, explanations and examples for each day, Brownley provides something for each individual to companion with the steps of grieving.  I have read many books on grief.  However, this one proved to provide the most insight for me.  I find myself referring back to many passages often, and referring friends who have also suffered a loss to read this incredible guide through the most unimaginable pain.
