Surprised By Grief
Janine FairPaperback 2010-07-16
'Losing a partner at a young age is a devastating experience. I know. I've been there.'??Janine shares the agonizing emotions, and the inner journey God took her on, after her biggest nightmare became reality literally overnight. She looks at the traps and pitfalls to which she was particularly prone, along with the overwhelming sense of loneliness she felt. And she shares the long and gruelling path towards recovering her sense of self and forging a new identity.??'God led me to set new priorities for myself,' she says, 'as I sought to move into the future with him, and enabled me to deal with the baggage of negative beliefs.'??Finally, Janine places her grief in the context of a transition in order to understand her 'voyage of hope', ending with gratitude to God for all she has received from his hands?'This is a diary of terrible pain and strong faith, not competing with each other, neither obliterating the other. It is a powerful read, sometimes almost unbearably so. It is also a deeply hopeful one: this book declares by its message and by its very existence that it is possible to experience God's grace and wisdom even through a time of terrible loss and inner turbulence. Janine Fair writes with intimate candour about her unfinished journey from a place of hope and trust.'
