Those mourning the profound absence of a loved one know the surges well. The sudden onslaught of tears. The relentless reminders: an empty bed, a deserted garden, a vacant hammock dangling between trees. In As We Grieve: Discoveries of Grace in Sorrow, Jan Groft offers tender reprieve by weaving together the voices of everyday people who, in the process of grieving, found hope, unveiling nine healing gifts of grace that can be discovered amidst the darkness. Individual chapters focus on specific gifts--memories, humor, strength, discovery, faith, art, wisdom, gratitude, and community--inspiring those who are grieving to recognize and embrace similar possibilities in their own grief journeys.

Praise for As We Grieve:

''Jan Groft . . . has written a winner. These are true stories of heavy hearts, which somehow, through faith, find a way to keep beating with joy.''
--Barbara Cloud, retired Pittsburgh Post Gazette columnist and author, By-Line

''As We Grieve is a book of marvelous depth, as well as opportunities for people to approach grieving from different points of view. It is about listening to a still small voice, experiencing God's presence, and encountering an incredible grace.''
--Tom Dodge, BCC, Director of Spiritual Care, Hospice of Lancaster County

bridges the gap between life and death

Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2015

Our society is obsessed with the search for youth, and so unhinged by the notion of death that we take Herculean steps to keep people alive, sometimes using methods that defy logic. Not so many generations ago, people died at home, surrounded by their loved ones who nursed and fed and cared for them during their last days. Today people die in the hospital, surrounded by the whirl and hum of high tech gadgetry and if they’re lucky, the occasional relative. Death is no longer the spiritual experience it once was.
Lucky for us there are people like Jan Groft who, through her writing and example, help us to bridge the ever-widening gap between life and death. Prior to writing As We Grieve, Discoveries of Grace in Sorrow, Groft conducted half a year of research, reaching out to friends and loved ones with a single question: what is your most poignant memory of the death of a loved one? In doing so, she created a sacred space for dozens and dozens of people to chronicle one of the most significant events of their lives. Even now that the book is published, Groft is still collecting anecdotes, listening with an almost preternatural ability to people describe the pain and the process.
For anyone who has lost a loved one or is currently experiencing that most profound emotion we call grief, As We Grieve will provide, if not complete relief -- because only time and grace can do that -- at least a bandaid with a big old squirt of the stuff that takes the sting away.

God's Grace is Sufficient

Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2012

I lost my mother in March of this year, and ever since then it seems like books and articles and many other things have been placed in my path about loss and grief. I feel like this, in addition to many other little things that have happened, is part of the grace that Jan Groft talks about in the book "As We Grieve." I feel that it is God putting his arm around my shoulders and saying "I am here with you and you are not alone in your grief."

I have cried while reading this book as well as smiled at the many ways Jan brings out God's grace. Many things I had not even credited to Him helping me but I see them clearly now after reading this book. The activities at the end of the chapters are also helpful in getting out your feelings not only of loss but of memories of those you have lost.

Losing my mother was the hardest thing I have ever had to go through, hands down. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has suffered the loss of a loved one. It will give you comfort as well as help you grieve, and it will help you see all the little ways God is there with you helping you through your grief.

A touching, beautiful read

Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2010

I've been reading "As We Grieve" in the kitchen while my soup cooks or in my car as I wait to pick up my son from his activities. Whether I read 5 pages or 50 pages in a sitting, I'm always moved to a combination of tears and profound comfort. The stories and insights in "As We Grieve" transcend grief - it could just as easily be titled "As We Live."

That's because Jan Groft has packed this book with so many gifts - the gift of herself and the gift of others, whose stories we would not otherwise be blessed to know. What resonates for me can be summed up best in this quote from the book: "And so God is there. Nudging us to see what we'd already seen but now, in His light, even more magnificently." This nudge is what we all need to see our loved ones today more magnificently. Thanks to Ms. Groft, I ask myself: "Why wait until they're gone?"

As We Grieve - is such a heart warming book at a time of grief. Reading through the book is like having a conversation with a friend. It touching and funny and real when life is sometimes tooooo much after a loved one dies. This is the best book I have ever found to share at such a difficult time.
