Words of Comfort for Times of LossBy Liz Allison and Cecil Murphey
My grandmother used to say, “Good things come in small packages.” That’s certainly true of this book. There’s a lot of wisdom packed in these pages, and the fact that it’s brief is part of the beauty of the message. If you’ve ever wondered what to say to someone who has lost a loved one, you’ll find the answer here. If you’ve felt helpless in the face of someone’s grief, this book delivers practical advice on what to say and how to offer real comfort.
Words of Comfort for Times of Loss isn’t just for those who desire to reach out to someone who has suffered a loss, either. If you’ve lost someone close to you, the experiences of authors Liz Allison and Cecil Murphey will resonate with you. With eloquence and understanding they open their hearts and share the deep pain of their own losses. The comfort they offer is real, and their words will bring hope and encouragement to all who read them.
