Coming to terms with the passing of a beloved friend or a loved one can be one of the most difficult times to go through. When we go through it ourselves, or know someone we care about is grieving, where and how do we find solace and comfort? How do we help someone else to cope with a loss?
Making a personal phone call, and sending a card, a sympathy gift basket, or flowers, are all sincere and reassuring ways to let someone know that we are there for them in their time of need. Receiving these gifts also sends that message to us when we are the one going through a time of grief.
With these caring gestures of sympathy that help to comfort us, or send comfort to someone we care about, a way to help get through the process is by reading an inspirational book. It helps to let us know that although we are grieving now, this is not our final destination, and we will be able to move on with our lives in a positive way. That doesn’t mean forgetting the deceased, because we will always be holding our beloved deceased friend or family member’s memory sacred in our mind and in our hearts.
Below are 5 inspirational book suggestions to help ourselves or someone we care about through the process of grieving.
