Grieving the death of one you love...It Hurts To Lose a Special Person expresses love and concern with strong spiritual sentiment, including Scripture.

Not sure what to do next? Caring for a loved one is stressful, but necessary. I know, I’ve been there many times. There are new situations, new issues, and new decisions to make every day. When you don’t know what to expect or what questions to ask, it can be a frustrating feeling, and your emotions can often affect your decisions. This book provides resources and information to guide you in caring for your aging loved one. The information includes information I wish I had known many years ago when I started my journey of caring for several relatives.

This book is about the resurrecting power of hope. By choosing hope in the face of hopelessness, life in the face of death, we summon a great strength from deep within ourselves, a mysterious power we didn't even know we had. Our pain becomes the crucible within which we are forged and made new; our ashes become the soil for fresh roots. Grief is an arduous journey. There are no easy-fixes, no shortcuts, and no workarounds. The only way to "get through it" is to "go through it". But if you take only one thing away from this book, let it be this: You never have to go through it alone.

At the threshold of death, she found connection, meaning, and depth, which led her to work with dying and bereaved people so they wouldn't feel alone.

A unique book, which addresses a calamity many men face, was written by the Northwest Author, Michael Louis Eads: A Man's Feelings, Finding Closure After Divorce.

Each section is designed to be a discussion session for a group or 5-12 students about the essay "A Grief Observed" by C.S. Lewis. Allow each student to respond to the first question before going on to the next. Allow for more time if some student has difficulty understanding or answering the question. It is my hope that these will assist you in helping young people make sense of death(s) in their lives.
