The Widows Comfort

In The Widow's Comfort, Frank Shivers shares a comforting blend of emotional support, spiritual guidance, coping strategies, inspirational quotes, and the experience of widows to assist the new widow in her journey of grief as she inches her way from brokenness to wholeness and from inexplicable sorrow to the fullness of peace.

Within its pages, the widow will find (1. Life-giving answers to troublesome questions about the process of grief (2. Coping and healing medicines to relieve the intense pain, distress, loneliness, emptiness, and worry spurred by grief (3. Resolution to religious doubts that grief has generated, and ultimately (4. The peace of God that surpasses all understanding. Throughout the book, 'healing' is not used to imply that grief is an illness to be 'fixed' but that it is a trauma (broken heart) full of pain, sorrow, and discomfort (raw emotions) to be mended.

Pastors, funeral home staff, grief therapists, and mental-health professionals will find the book highly beneficial to gift to the grieving widow.
