Perfect Pairings: Grieving & Recovery

Joel 1:8

Mourn like a virgin in sackcloth grieving for the betrothed of her youth.

“Have faith in your dreams and someday your rainbow will come smiling through. No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep believing, the dream that you wish will come true.”
Dream is a Wish in Your Heart

We all have times where we are having to grieve and from that we then enter into recovery.  That spot where the light begins to shine once again in our lives.  We have all had to go through this process.  It is not anything that we wish to do but a part of the life process.  How we handle it is where we each show our strengths.  Myself, crying is where I do not do well.  I try so hard to hold it in.  It feels as if the damn will burst and never stop.  Of course we all know that it will eventually flow to an ebb.  Thankfully I have not had to deal with as much grief in my life.  Having lost family and friends but coming through it fine in the long run.  I so feel for those who become stuck in the grief and do not experience the recovery at all.

There are ways to help with this process.  And one of them is learning how others have managed with it.  In Chicken Soup for the Soul Grieving and Recovery, you can find those stories of how so many have healed in time.  I have loved every CSftS book that has crossed my path.  They have helped to brighten my days and also to show me just how life goes on.  Have you found that the way these books are laid out with short true stories has helped you?  Thankfully the lovely souls there are willing to share with us once again.  Three are 3 books to giveaway. And it is easy to enter, just leave me a comment.
