About This Book

A series of devotional discourses offers consolation to those in bereavement, drawing on the author's recent personal loss to explore how sorrow can be met with religious resignation and hope. Using biblical episodes and metaphors, the essays meditate on youth, disappointment, loneliness, the presence of the departed, the special comfort offered by children, and the balance of mystery and faith. Practical and reflective in turn, the pieces counsel endurance, reinterpret suffering as a formative work, and invite readers to find renewed trust and spiritual consolation amid grief.
