Living With Dying: Blessings and Prayers for Those Who Grieve

The grief you know through the loss of a loved one may be the most disruptive experience in your life. There are also those who are, in a very real sense, living with dying-those who due to age, disease, or injury, are dealing with the news of their own impending death. No one is immune to loss and grief and the agonizing moments of doubt, fear, questioning, and anger that can accompany it.

There is support for you in your trouble. There is presence of family, friends, and church. There are memories of the past and hope for those who live on. There is, above all, the Lord and Giver of Life, who holds you in His arms with comfort, pulls you up when you need support, and helps you endure as you live with your grief.

Through devotions, prayers, Scripture, and hymns this little book brings comfort, peace, encouragement, and hope to those who have lost a loved one or those preparing for their own death. This Christ-centered devotional is designed as a convenient take-along resource to help the reader find the comfort provided by the Christian understanding of death. Because of Jesus' death and resurrection we realize that even while dying and death can cause pain and grief, death has no ultimate power over us.
