Turning Grief Into Gratitude: Reflections and Recommendations on Mourning and Condolence is the insightful memoir of Rabbi Dr. Reuven P. Bulka, discussing how, after thirty-five years of consoling and counseling mourners, he had to confront the loss of his own parents. Offering a uniquely Jewish perspective of one man's efforts to cope, Turning Grief into Gratitude delves into absorbing the shock when the dreaded day arrives, the importance of appreciating past good times, reflections upon mourning itself, and also, practical advice on how to console others undergoing turbulent times - people mean well, but it is all to easy to say the wrong thing at the worst time. A thoughtful book that blends practical considerations with the harsh emotional impact of reality.
