Book Description

Publication Date: December 1, 1998

Grief the Healer, a 167 page, 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, soft cover book, is a random collection of short and passionate thoughts about deaths of all kinds and the healing power of grief. A death could be the death of a loved one, a relationship that has run its course, or even a way of life that is no longer feasible. Grief the Healer explores the intricate fears and mysteries of death and change, offering wisdom and inspiration to those who cope with loss. McGregor conveys the message that we are powerless in the face of the universal order. Only when we surrender, relinquish our control, and accept the changes that life brings, do we find wholeness.

From the Publisher

Grief the Healer redefines the conventional view of grief from that of avoidance or despair, to that of a normal and natural response to trauma. McGregor's succinct style of writing is easy reading for the grieving person whose emotions make it difficult to focus for long periods of time. His unique style has been proven popular with readers over the years. McGregor's other published books, I Love You Enough to Let You Go, I Love Me Enough to Let Me Go, and The Tao of Recovery are also available on Amazon.com.

From the Author

In Grief the Healer I write about death of many kinds. It could be a difficult ending of a relationship, a way of life that is no longer feasible, the loss of good health or a job, or the death of a loved one. Whatever the loss, when it is followed by a healthy grieving period, one can find a new and harmonious beginning.

The short, concise messages that you will find in my little book may be just the ones to open a door to a healthy grieving period. The messages have come to me during times of meditation; they are not intellectual treatises, but rather a sharing of thoughts that are products of my experiences over the past eighty years. I sincerely hope that my little book will aid your recovery and become one of your fond memories.

This review is from: Grief the Healer: Spiritual Reflections on the Healing Power of Grief. (Paperback)

I recieved this book for no particular reason, a week later my grandfather passed away at 94 years. After reading this book, which I might add seemed a gift from God at the time, I passed it along to my grandmother. She's read it and has a list of friends waiting to see it. Jim-I feel you wrote the book for me and my family. For a time, you were with me offering me your personal guidence and experiences and I appreciate it. I will always remember the help you and your book offered me when I really needed it. Thanks. A MUST READ BOOK-EVEN WHEN YOU DONT HAVE A REASON TO GRIEVE.
