Life is good. Farewells are hard. Mortality is nearly enough to crush and destroy even the brightest of souls. But as Helen Keller once said, “We bereaved are not alone. We belong to the largest company in all the world—the company of those who have known suffering.” In this journal, we’ve prepared excerpts and gems from over 50 resources from people who are a part of that “company of sufferers.” From song lyrics to blogs, books, podcasts, Scriptures, and more, you’ll find effective practices for healing your emotions and learning how to cope in this new chapter of your life. One goal for this book is to keep the lessons gently succinct to avoid being overwhelming. It might help you to do just one page at a time. If you come away with even one life- changing habit or new way of thinking, it will have been worth the effort of your reading, praying, journaling, and practicing! As one organization states, “Time doesn’t heal wounds; intentional activity over time heals wounds.” We pray that you’d be able to intentionally apply some truths from these pages and go on living out your legacy!
