Overcoming Five Stages of Grief with God

"With intense self-reflection, unflinching honesty and courage, Melissa allows readers into her life as she explores her own experience with grief after losing her grandmother during the pandemic and dealing with a divorce. The grief, she narrates, struck her unexpectedly with feelings of despair and hopelessness engulfing her, and it is through therapy and faith in God that she managed to weather the storm. The text is divided into eight chapters which aptly build upon each other as they tackle the five stages of overcoming grief which include: depression, acceptance, and rebirth. The last chapter of the book provides a collection of scriptures compiled to help you through those thoughts and feelings that can often time overwhelm us.
Combining essential life examples from Biblical matriarchs and patriarchs such as Moses, Mary, Eve, Hannah, Peter, and many more, the author provides practical and pastoral advice to help Christians rest their pain and suffering in Christ's hands and invite Him into each step of grief. Melissa has done a great service by providing a balm packed with precious nuggets for the grieving, those in need of counsel, and caretakers that are intended to go a long way.
Indeed, Overcoming Five Stages of Grief with God is a life-affirming guide which does not overstay its welcome. It is undeniably a warm companion for those who feel trapped in a forest of grief." -Pacific Book Review
