Product Description
by Christina Maldonado (Author)
""What should we do with the pain that accompanies loss in our human existence? What (or who) do we reach for? How can a person of faith rationalize their experience with their beliefs? Christina Maldonado was not sure. Joy Comes with the Mourning is a collection of short reflections from the author's personal grief process after she lost one of her dearest friends to breast cancer. Written while she was simultaneously beginning graduate school to become a healthcare chaplain, her raw emotions and questions flood the pages. The pieces are presented in the order they were written with minimal editing. While many of them reflect her Christian faith, any reader will be able to relate to the themes. Her hope is that they will help others access their own honest emotions as they process and heal from loss.""
