Joy Comes with the Mourning Holly M. Besser

Have you found yourself powerless to heal mentally, physically, and/or spiritually from overwhelming grief, after the loss of a child through miscarriage, stillbirth, or another painful circumstance? Are you struggling with the question of, "Why me?" and feel desperate to find a reason for this suffering in your life? Do you wonder why a loving God would allow this terrible tragedy to shatter your world? Does it seem impossible that life will ever be "normal" again? Do you have a friend or family member, who has been touched by this sorrow, and may be dealing with these questions in their heart? Do you need some guidance to try to understand their pain in order to minister to them? The ultimate goal of this book is to encourage and remind you that you are not alone, that what you feel is real and legitimate, and to show you that God has a plan to bring grace, peace and even joy through this significant void in your life. The second purpose is to give those on the "outside" a small glimpse and a better appreciation of what life is like, after the loss of a child. Isaiah 61:3 - ... To give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
