GOOD GRIEF PEOPLE is an anthology filled with real stories respecting and affirming the individuality of grief and the reality of hope. GOOD GRIEF PEOPLE offers no specific formula for grieving but it does offer an opportunity for readers to know they are not alone. Many of the stories are faith-filled true experiences of encounters with a living, loving God. Other stories relay a different kind of grieving and how those who are left behind cope in a crisis. Death is part of life. Sometimes it can be a very painful part of life but it is something none of us can escape. Deep grief is a sign of deep love and the passionately written stories in GOOD GRIEF PEOPLE honour and recognize that everyone grieves differently.
