Great writing about grief is all too rare. In this book you will journey with people who have faced incredible losses the kinds most of us dont even want to think about: people who have lost loved ones to cancer, heart attacks, car accidents, plane crashes, suicide, and even murder. Yet despite unbelievable grief and distress, each found a God who cared and was present. This is an essential book for all who have suffered a loss I guess that means everyone.

JAMES A. AVERY, M.D.

Lynn Eib weaves together a magnificent patchwork of grievers stories with the golden thread of the powerful testimony of Gods words. If youre so brokenhearted you dont know if youll survive if your soul is so parched it feels as if its cracking and turning to dust if youve cried to the point that your tear glands feel as if theyve dried up, dont miss the soothing and healing balm in this wonderful book. When God and grief meet, true healing can begin.

WALT LARIMORE, M.D.

When youre grieving, it helps to spend time with other people whove been there people who understand the very real fears, disappointments, and sorrow that you are going through. In When God & Grief Meet, Lynn Eib introduces us to a series of people who not only share their stories of grief but who offer us wise insights and practical ideas for getting through it.

NANCY GUTHRIE

When God & Grief Meet is a poignant collection of heartwarming real-life stories of those who have found the significance of spirituality in searching for guidance through their grief journeys. This book is a valuable resource to address the most challenging questions one experiences following the loss of a loved one. Lynn has, once again, through the stories of others found comforting words to create peace at this most difficult time in life. I wholly endorse this very valuable grieving tool.

Grief is hard and lonely work, but in these compelling stories and honest reflections from Lynn Eib, you will find a community of people who understand your sorrow and a God who restores your hope.

HAROLD G. KOENIG, M.D.

The price of human caring is grief and loss. Whatever ones present state of loss, Lynn provides the reader with an understanding of the grief process and how the application of an active faith can help one live through troubled times. The gift of this book to someone in need will make all the difference.

ROY SMITH, M.DIV., PH.D.

Once again Lynn Eib takes readers on a peace-seeking journey with God as the guide. Lynn masterfully takes on the difficult but universally prevalent subject of grief. Her words will resonate with you and comfort you long after youve finished the book.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Every time I finish writing another book, I am sure it will be my last. And then God puts another book inside my head and I have to write again. I can tell you that without His supernatural touch, I would have had nothing of eternal value to say. If anything in this book comforts your heart, please give Him all the credit.

I also would like to say thank you to:

My prayer partner and dear friend, Elizabeth Hirsh, for praying me through all my writing and expertly editing my manuscript so I look much better to my publisher.

My husbands prayer partner and my dear friend, Dr. Marc Hirsh, for giving me a job that allows me to share the Lord with so many suffering and grieving people (and for not retiring yet!).

All the members of my Grief Prayer Support Group for allowing me to test some of my book ideas on them and for entrusting me with their grief-storms.
