Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classic guide for dealing with grief and loss. Daily reflections to find solace in our own lives, and comfort in the connection of sharing these meditations with countless others. After the focus on planning and outpouring of love from family and friends in the immediate aftermath following the loss of a loved one, we are left to enter a new version of our lives where someone important is missing. For days, months, years, the pain of the loss can crash in all at once. It is tempting to push that wave of grief back and soldier on with our new lives, but the loss will never lose its controlling power if we don’t find the courage and love to face it. Meditating on the loss, along with the rush of love that comes with it, gives us a chance to rejoice in the life that was shared, and to look forward in which memories of our loved ones continue to bless us. The short, poignant meditations given here follow the course of the year, but it is not a necessity to follow them chronologically. They will strengthen, inspire, and give comfort for as long as they are needed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Endorsements: ""Richard Morgan equally blends Scripture, poetry, and prayer in ways that resonate with the souls of those who grieve. Pastors will find Meditations for the Grieving to be a valuable gift for those who are walking through the shadows of death. Additionally, Morgan provides a welcome resource for anyone who seeks to better understand the depths of our journey and welcome hope of a Word that provides light unto our path.'' --Dr. Donovan Drake, Senior Pastor, Westminster Presbyterian Church, Nashville, TN ""I lost my grandfather and then my father within nine days of each other. People said many things to try to help ease the pain, and the pain of those around me. In spite of good intentions, words so often miss the mark. Meditations for the Grieving offered a kind of quiet solace, available when I sought it, but never imposing. Reflecting on how other people felt and acted in their times of loss helped me feel less isolated as I worked through my own loss. --Brenda M. Sobata, MSW, Volunteer Coordinator, Redstone Highlands, Greenburg, PA ""Dr. Morgan can be trusted to offer honest, wise support to those experiencing loss. It is evident that he has listened well and offers Meditations for the Grieving as a healing touch. Grief is 'heavy, ' but the reality of the pain is faced with the hope of future peace. Along with the daily meditations are poignant readings that bring moments of new recognition and sage advice. I have shared this book with a multitude of persons through my ministry as a local pastor and professional chaplain in hospice, retirement living communities and nursing homes. It can be used for bereavement support groups or other group settings. Those who meditate upon the words of this book will come to understand that nothing can separate them from the love of God.'' --Rev.

Download or read book Making Friends with Death written by Judith L. Lief and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2001-02-13 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing from The Tibetan Book of the Dead, a Buddhist teacher “provides [readers] with the essential guidepost for embarking on the journey of life and the journey beyond” (Journal of Hospice and Palliative Nursing) In Making Friends with Death, Buddhist teacher Judith Lief, who's drawn her inspiration from the Tibetan Book of the Dead, shows us that through the powerful combination of contemplation of death and mindfulness practice, we can change how we relate to death, enhance our appreciation of everyday life, and use our developing acceptance of our own vulnerability as a basis for opening to others. She also offers a series of guidelines to help us reconnect with dying persons, whether they are friends or family, clients or patients. Lief highlights the value of relating to the immediacy of death as an ongoing aspect of everyday life by offering readers a variety of practical methods that they can apply to their lives and work. These methods include: • Simple mindfulness exercises for deepening awareness of moment-by-moment change • Practices for cultivating loving-kindness • Helpful slogans and guidelines for caregivers to use Making Friends with Death will enlighten anyone interested in coming to terms with their own mortality. More specifically, the contemplative approach presented here offers health professionals, students of death and dying, and people who are helping a dying friend or relative useful guidance and inspiration. It will show them how to ground their actions in awareness and compassion, so that the steps they take in dealing with pain and suffering will be more effective.
