The Grief Walk: Losing, Grieving, and Journeying on to Something New - Paperback

This practical book is for people who are grieving, for people who want to support them as they undertake the painful journey of grief, and for anyone who wants to reflect on their own experiences of loss.When Alister asked Isobel, whose husband had died a few years before, what would have helped her most then, her response was immediate. 'Someone who would walk with me. Not people who would talk at me and give me answers, but simply listen to me and walk with me.' The grief walk.Grieving and loss are universal experiences, but how you experience grief is unique to you. In his ministry, Alister has found that models of the stages of grief are unhelpful, as is the idea of closure. Instead, he gives you permission to work through your grief in the ways, and at the times, that are helpful to you.Alister explores disenfranchised grief that occurs when we are denied the right to grieve and our loss isn't recognised.Our lives are marked by countless losses and we all carry grief about many losses in our life. If we embrace our grief, we can journey on to something new and find fresh hope.The book provides a link to download a free PDF Study Guide for The Grief Walk, that can be use by individuals or small groups..
