Aftermath Growing in Grace Through Grief Book Review

 

 

~Aftermath Growing in Grace Through Grief~

By Margaret McSweeney


Loss is a four-letter word that grips our hearts and gridlocks our lives. Grief can hold us captive until we surrender it to God.

How do we find the necessary grace to journey through the mourning process? Juxtaposed to the outpouring of her mother’s words about grief, the author shares her parallel journey from the emotional abyss of grief after becoming an adult orphan. With candor, the author shares her own emotions experienced along the spectrum of loss after her parents’ deaths: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance—adding interactive options for readers.

 

Five sections cover these common emotions and provide~


• Comfort Scripture lists

• Counsel sections from grief experts

• Chronicling sections with detailed helps

• Tangible handles on dealing with grief during holidays, capturing loved ones’ legacy, and more.

 

Losing someone can be really hard,and sometimes it gets to be too much and you just don't know where to turn. That was my case,as I have lost all 3 of my immediate family members in the last 5 years,and to say that I hurt would be a understatement. Reading this book was just what I needed. As I sat reading it, I couldn't believe how close to home it hit. It took me to all the stages that I went through {and still do}and I learned that it is OK for me to be angry and hurt at times. As that is also part of my grieving process. I have referred back to this book many times, as there were so many  in this book. Margaret is a very good author,this is the first time that I have read a book from her. I would recommend this book to all,as no matter what we all have to deal with grief in our family and this book will help through it easier.

Scentsy Review & Giveaway! 12/20*CLOSED*

I love my house to smell good.I have candles and tea lights in almost every room.But it seems that no matter what I buy the scent just doesn't seem to last.I have spent so much money trying different ones and I swear that I should have bought stock in tea lights the way I buy them!! That is why I was super excited when I was asked to review some Scentsy Products. What is Scentsy~You ask?! Well~let me tell you~ Scentsy sells wickless candles, ceramic warmers and home-fragrance products.  A wickless candle, called a Scentsy Bar or a Scentsy Brick, is a highly fragrant wax bar that is warmed to release fragrance into the air. And they have over 80 scents to choose from! So~I know that you will find one that matches you too!  Because the wax is gently warmed rather than burned, it can hold more fragrance oil than a traditional candle. And, because there is no flame, there is no smoke, soot or lead. Scentsy wickless candles are a safer alternative to tradition...

Midwest Dairy Council~Dairy Makes Sense Giveaway!*CLOSED*

As you may have heard, June was National Dairy Month. June Dairy Month started in 1937, as a promotion to help distribute extra milk when cows started on pasture in the warm summer months.  Today, its rich history continues, with communities, companies and people from all over the country observing June Dairy Month in a variety of ways. In the Midwest, dairy farms and families often open their gates to visitors at breakfasts and tours , while grocery stores and other business feature dairy products during the month. Milk and other dairy products are great sources of vitamins and minerals. For years, we’ve heard milk “does a body good,” but research shows that many people don’t fully understand the whole story of the nutritional value found in dairy. According to the U.S government’s dietary guidelines, we should be eating three servings of milk, cheese or yogurt every day. Dairy products provide four of the seven nutrients Americans are missing the most, in...
