Don't Take My Grief Away is a complete, helpful handbook covering such important areas as the choice of a minister, family dynamics during such stressful times, and personalizing the funeral service.

Who could possibly understand the heavy ache of grief, uncertainty, and loneliness that comes with life after a husband's death? Only someone who has also lived this experience would be able to describe it.
In&nbsp;Prayers for a Widow's Journey, a 100-prayer collection, author Gayle Roper talks to the Lord about how it feels to be caught in the solitude of widowhood. Each prayer, accompanied by Scripture, is not grounded in pity, but in an awareness of the boundless care of the God of all comfort.
