Aftermath Blog Tour

Aftermath by Margaret McSweeney

About The Book:
Loss is a four-letter word that grips our hearts and gridlocks our lives. Grief can hold us captive until we surrender it to God. How do we find the necessary grace to journey through the mourning process? Juxtaposed to the outpouring of her mother’s words about grief, the author shares her parallel journey from the emotional abyss of grief after becoming an adult orphan. With candor, the author shares her own emotions experienced along the spectrum of loss after her parents’ deaths: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance - adding interactive options for readers. Five sections cover these common emotions and provide: •comfort Scripture lists •counsel sections from grief experts •chronicling sections with detailed helps •tangible handles on dealing with grief during holidays, capturing loved ones’ legacy, and more.

My Thoughts:
Even after a year almost, I am still heavily grieving for my son Mason. This book is a great help. I love the interactive parts of this book, and I am grateful to the author for sharing her personal feelings and stories. This book is now dog-eared and highlighted, and heavily read. A great resource for anyone who is grieving.
