Through the Valley of Grief by Mattie Jackson

★★★★★  The publisher provided a copy for review. 
Here's a companion for the year - or if you skip days here and there - for the whole season of grieving. you can feel the emotions and spiritual progress on each page, written by someone who has experienced the deepest sorrow and the process of restoration and healing.

"The book I wish I had," writes the author, who lost her husband a year into marriage. There are 4 kinds of devotions: wait (lament); connect (a defense against utter withdrawal); worship (honesty in offering praise from the heart); and hope (peace in the storms that follow a loss).

Each day offers a scripture, a short devotional, and a question to help you consider what you are experiencing. It's a hopeful and compassionate journey from devastation to acceptance. Highly recommended after closure of many kinds - loss of relationships, persons, jobs, and other expectations.
