Having encountered unexpected moments of grace in her own grief journeys, writer Jan Groft set out to find others who had felt lifted, even momentarily, out of their sorrow.“As a caregiver or survivor,” she asked,“what got you through each day?What did hope look like?”
Their answers—a generous outpouring of stories from men and women who had graciously accepted the divine amidst the darkness—affirmed her own experiences of feeling embraced in times of loss. They revealed nine healing gifts of grace—memories, humor, strength, discovery, faith, art,wisdom, gratitude and community— inspiring the hope-filled message of As We Grieve. Open this powerful little book: the gifts are yours to discover and embrace.
