GRIEF GROWTH GRACE (PB)

“I recommend this book to
anyone seeking to find meaning in a life undone by loss, or looking for
compassionate counsel…”  From the
Foreword by Dr Robert A. Neimeyer 
Loss, death and bereavement are inevitable to human life. Equally true
is the human capacity to grow strength in the garden of sorrow, and seek the
path of deep growth, transformation and grace, in the midst of grief and
pain.  Neena Verma, a ‘Grief and
Growth’ specialist and a bereaved mother herself, offers an in-depth and
engaging book, that guides the way to transform grief journey into ‘growth
and grace’ pilgrimage. Her six-phase ‘GROWTH Mandala’ model is the key highlight
of this book. The first two chapters in the Part 1 (Maze of Grief) of the
book explore the complex phenomena of loss, trauma and grief. The seven
chapters in the Part 2 (Mystique of Growth) of the book begin by laying an
insightful foundation about post-traumatic growth; and show evocative and
practical ways to accept loss, affirm grief, adapt with resilience, restore
well-being, grow and transform at a deep level, and reconstruct life with
meaning and grace. The two chapters in the final Part 3 (Marvel of Grace)
bring to light the self-transcendent approach to ‘Forgiveness’ in the context
of grief, and the GRACE Way’ of gratitude, reverence for life, saying YES to
life, compassion, and essence of life. The book culminates with on a
prayerful poetic note. An abundance of inspiring vignettes; reflective,
therapeutic-writing and expressive-arts exercises; poetic affirmations and
more awaits you in the book.  This book
is for you, if you believe an affirmative and resilient life-view can help
transform pain to purpose, and grow strength in the garden of sorrow. And
this book is for you, if you are keen to facilitate deep existential growth
for yourself and others, whether or not in grief.  Welcome aboard the pilgrimage of faith,
hope, strength, wisdom, meaning, growth, love and grace.
