Foreword

The overwhelming experience of loss and grief can leave us broken-hearted and alone. It is important to remember, in the midst of sadness, that grief is our ally. Grief guides us toward healing as we learn to live again.

While each person’s needs and style of grieving is unique, there are universal themes that can help all of us. The invitation of “grieving with a grateful heart” seeks to reach across individual styles with tangible suggestions for healing. It is an image of rekindling the relationship with lost loved ones through the generous guidance of gratitude.
