Are you, or someone you know, grieving a significant loss? Rays of Hope in Times of Loss offers soothing guidance to help you discover the answer to many questions. It is filled with powerful therapeutic narrative, original poems, and photographs that reflect the different aspects of the emotional excursion through grief. In our fast-paced lifestyles of today, many people face loss with little guidance and insufficient time to genuinely recover. This book helps people receive beauty, wisdom, and meaningful answers about loss as they move through the maze of grief, without requiring long hours of study and heavy research. Better than a sympathy card or flowers, show how much you care by giving a copy as a gift to others or to yourself.

I love this book!,
By Diane K., caregiver, mom, friend (Woodbury, MN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rays of Hope in Times of Loss: Courage and Comfort for Grieving Hearts (Hardcover)
The images and words in this beautifully constructed book are tools in building hope through difficult loss. Covered are the loss of someone who has died, the loss of health, relationship endings, career changes or job loss and family stage changes. I have it opened on my desk to different pages that fit different days, where I might want to encourage someone or be encouraged. The photographs are truly poetry in and of itself, blending beautifully with the words.

The perfect gift for the toughest of times,

This review is from: Rays of Hope in Times of Loss: Courage and Comfort for Grieving Hearts (Hardcover)
I've always struggled with what to say to someone when they lose a loved one. And sending a card always seemed so inadequate for such a tough situation.
Then I saw "Rays of Hope." From the moment I laid eyes on this, I knew it was special. It literally invited me to pick it up and once I did, I couldn't put it down. The beautiful photographs warmed my heart and the poetry warmed my spirit. I knew immediately that I wanted to give it to my friends and their families when a loved one passed on. I bought five copies right away. I'll be back for more.
