Grief
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Grief by Jerry Fagnani I write for those Who dwell in sacred hush, Kneeling on altars Of their own exile; Those who weep For the wildness in a gentle heart, And sing a song of longing For sun dappled paths of light. I sing for those Flying further than any dream can reach, Knowing that the rivers remember As do the desecrated shadows in the dark; Forlorn brothers, who, With wings of ancient wrath, Ride the raging storms of night With a love that can't forget. I walk with those Who embrace their ravages, And listen to the wind For a message from the seasons; Souls on a withered landscape And its long, long season of silence; Except for their hearts Which gently moan. A Kinder Bright: Poems of Praise and Remembrance
heal the wound

My husband passed away a couple months ago from an accident. He was only 29 years old and we've been married for only 4 years. We didn't have any children yet. I found this book when I visited my sister in Sydney, Australia. I went to her Catholic Church and found this book at its Library. I amazed how true what the author said about people who grief and feel. I totally can relate to how she felt when her husband died. I am so glad that I read this book because I was confused and did not know how to react, what to do and how to move on with my life. People keep saying that I am still young and there is a bright future in front of me. However, the pain of being lost by someone you love so much is unbearable and it is so hard to move on and face the day every morning without him.
Highly recommended

The book was written by a Catholic widow age 45 whose husband died suddenly, leaving her with 9 kids. I bought this book for the husband of my (also young) friend who was killed in a car accident, leaving two very young children. I read it before giving it to him, and I thought it to be a very practical and purposeful guide that gives many "how-to" pointers in how to continue on, in addition to outlining the emotions of grief. Many books have stories on grief - working through emotions - but this one gives practical advice on finances, legal affairs, dealing with grieving children as well as healing yourself. I will let y'all know if he found it as helpful as I thought he would. It's a short read (122 pages) and is written in an easy, straightforward manner by a sympathetic writer. I would recommend this for an unexpected or young death, especially of one who left young kids behind. Even though it is Catholic-oriented, I would recommend it for those who are Christian but not Catholic as well.
