In this groundbreaking book, best-selling author, Kathy Hendricks examines the long-range effects of unacknowledged and unresolved grief. Beginning with an exploration of the meaning of grace and how it emerges from even the deepest wounds, Hendricks demonstrates how the heart often mellows through the long-term process of grieving, allowing grace to move us into gratitude and hope. Personal stories and post-Resurrection accounts from the gospels help to illuminate the many ways we might find God's grace in our grief and allow it to draw forth new life.
