When God and Grief Meet by Lynn Eib is a wonderful book about accepting and then moving past the grief after losing a loved one. When I ordered this book a few months ago, my uncle Howard had recently received a diagnosis of cancer that was bleak, but I hadn’t even begun to process the grief of possibly losing him. The book arrived about three weeks ago, and as I started to read it, he was admitted into the hospital with all sorts of life-threatening problems that just kept snowballing. I know that God sent this book into my life at just the right time, because it has been an enormous help for me.Eib is a grief counselor, and she must be amazing at her job, because her book is filled with gentle wisdom and constant encouragement. She accepts every stage of grief without trying to rush through it and provides support for each. She includes several stories about people she has met through her counseling and the way they have learned to move through and grow from their grief. Each story is a blessing to the reader in that it provides hope that while grief never really completely goes away, it will diminish in time. Each chapter is packed with Scriptures to comfort the wounds of a loss. I wrote several of them down to keep with me. My uncle doesn’t have much time left, so I will be passing my copy on to my family with the knowledge that it will bless them the way it has blessed me.

A few weeks ago when I found this book I knew I finally found something that I clicked with. I wanted to read something that would help me, due to the loss of our adult son two years ago. This book gave insight and understanding like I haven’t found in any person I’ve talked to. The author gives examples through personal stories of what others have experienced at the death of a loved one, prepares you for what people will say to you and it is just a good book on grieving. I cried off and on, all the way through it and found it was very helpful. Thank you CBD for selling this book and thank you Lynn Eib for writing it! God Bless!
