 A collection of first-hand stories of people coming to terms with the death of someone close to them. Their moving accounts provide inspiration for anyone going through similar trials or those in touch with a trained bereavement counselor Jane Oundjian. Janes own experience in coming to terms with the deaths of her mother and son have given her a personal understanding of the need for good bereavement care. (excerpt as noted below)
"Now I look at bereavement - and all suffering - slightly differently. I think that whilst it's not God's will for us to suffer, he can make use of and bring good out of any situation - even the most desperate I believe. How? Because He can transform our response. All of us know people who face hardships in two different ways: they either grumble all the time and say how unfair it is, and why them after all the trouble they've had or they respond in a way that's positive.
In a sense you have to embrace suffering decide to feel it and get on with it and incorporate it into your experience as something you've got to put up with. Its part of you. You can never say, 'I'm so glad that happened to me' because who could want such a thing to happen? But you can certainly say, 'I'm so glad Im not the person I was when that happened to me.' Because it is sometimes only through hardship and suffering that you grow."

In this short booklet, Nicky Gumbel considers what Paul's letter to the Ephesians says about these, and other important questions. It shows how the issues that faced the Ephesian Church are similar to those many of us face today.
