We’ve all dealt with the grief of losing a loved one at some time in our lives–or know someone who has. This is an excellent book for just such a time.
The loss of a loved one is devastating, and the grief that follows is often crippling. While modern Western culture has adopted an aren’t-you-over-it-yet? attitude toward death and the grief it brings, the grieving process can take years.
Weeks and months go by with no visible improvement. We might even wonder if God has forsaken us. Then one day it happens: We laugh. We feel connnected, restless, maybe even hopeful. We’re no longer consumed by our loss, and our thoughts turn outward. These are the first signs of healing.
Though the tendency in our fast-paced society is to suppress our grief or ignore it all together, Grieving God’s Way inspires a different course of action. In this 90-day devotional Margaret Brownley provides the framework for a methodical grieving process that follows God’s plan.
Grieving God’s way requires us to trust that He will lead us through the darkness, heal our pain, take away our weariness, and fill our hearts with hope, peace, and new purpose. From defining what grief is to validating its importance, Brownley gives us the components necessary to find God within our sorrow and grieve with Him.

Hi Kathi, I cannot wait to purchase a copy of your book, “Grieving Your Loss God’s Way” !!! My husband & I could have used your book when we lost our baby girl to cancer 11 years ago. But since you had not written this yet, we did grieve God’s way without even knowing we were; although it did take many years for us to finally be in a good place again 🙂 But I know not everyone grieves God’s way so I consider your book a very helpful and informative one! Thank you for writing “Grieving Your Loss God’s Way”.
Hello Rosanne: Thank you so much for leaving the comment, and I’m so sorry to hear about your precious little girl. How heartbreaking! At the same time I should tell you that this book isn’t mine. I posted it for my author friends Margaret Brownley and Diantha Ain. I’ve known them both for decades, and Margaret was one of my first writing mentors. Click “contact” on this website and let me know if you’d like to connect with one or both of them. I know they’d love to hear from you. Blessings!
