Reseña del libro "The 100 Most Powerful Prayers for Grief and Loss (en Inglés)"
For the days after everyone has gone home. This book holds one hundred prayers for grief. They are arranged in ten sections, following the shape of it: the first days, the funeral, the weeks after everyone leaves, the anger, losing a husband or wife, a parent, a child, the anniversaries, the people who do not understand, and learning to live again. Each prayer has three parts. A verse from the King James Version, the prayer itself, and a short reflection at the end. The reflection is a practical thought to carry into the day, not a lesson to be learned. These prayers are honest. Several of them are angry, several ask why, and one or two of them do not resolve at all. That is deliberate. Scripture contains prayers that do not resolve, and a book of grief that pretended otherwise would be no use to anybody. The ten sections The First Days The Funeral and What Follows When Everyone Has Gone Home Anger and the Questions For a Husband or Wife Who Has Died For a Parent Who Has Died For a Child Who Has Died The Anniversaries and the Empty Chair When Others Do Not Understand Learning to Live Again You do not have to start at the beginning. Look at the contents, find the section that matches this week, and start there. One last thing. Grief and depression overlap and are not the same, and thoughts of ending your life are a medical emergency rather than a spiritual failing. If any of that describes you, please speak to your doctor or a crisis line today. These prayers are written to sit alongside that help, never in place of it.
