Does your book contain information as it would relate to the bible?
Answer
No, it does not. In my experience, grief is grief regardless of one's religious or spiritual orientation, so I wrote the book for everyone.
It is very common for a significant loss to trigger a crisis in faith or a change in religious or spiritual practice.
Here's an excerpt from the book...
For some, a death becomes a spiritual crisis, causing you to turn away from past beliefs and practices. For others, a death can be an opening to spiritual and religious curiosity. And for others, a loss challenges your beliefs in a way that reaffirms and deepens your spiritual or religious experience.
Some typical scenarios are...
• Being a regular participant who finds yourself questioning God, even being angry at God, for letting the person you love die.
• Lapsed practitioners experience renewed interest and participation in their previous spiritual or religious practice.
• A death may trigger a spiritual awakening for some who have never really considered such matters before this loss.
Despite the many preconceived ideas we carry with us, all spiritual growth involves periods of serious doubt, and sometimes, outright rejection of previously held beliefs.
Doesn't it make sense that the death of someone you love might propel you into deep questioning about life, death, and God?
I can't answer the questions for you, but I will say that God can take whatever we have to dish out.
