About The Book
When Death Comes a Knockin’ is a self-help, inspirational book about loss and grief. It is a personal book that will guide those who are grieving to do so at their own pace through areas of shock, expressions of their grief, and help them deal with questions, doubts, guilt and fears over the loss of a loved one. By facing overwhelming emotions of loss during grief people wonder if they’ll ever feel okay again, thus leaving them depressed, angry or even ashamed when their grief doesn’t disappear quickly or happen in neat, orderly stages. In my book the person grieving is shown how to take small steps towards the recovery process.
Each stage of the grief process is discussed in the book. It is filled with Biblical quotes for inspiration, useful techniques to assist someone through the grief process, tips on what to do and what to say as words of condolences and encouragement to the bereaved, reference reading materials on loss and grief, Internet resources on loss and grief, as well as Internet writing resources that can be used as a tool for journaling one’s own experience through loss and the grief process.
There are no illustrations or an index included in the book. There is bibliographic information in the book. This book is intended for the general audience and will be helpful to anyone who has experienced the loss of a loved one.
