We can't really prepare for grief. The only experts on grief are those who have survived it and then helped others do the same. <p/> Retreat leader, former psychotherapist, and bestselling author Paula D'Arcy is one of those experts. In <i>Winter of the Heart</i>, she shares her life's work, accompanying you through seasons of grief and the emotions that come with the loss of a loved one or after other major changes in life. <p/><i>Winter of the Heart</i> is a companion for anyone early in grieving process--for the person experiencing shock, emotional pain, an inability to move, guilt, intense anger, and a range of other emotions that might be new to you. <p/> D'Arcy lost her young husband and toddler in a violent car accident more than four decades ago. She understands your grief and can also help you look to what's on the other side--hope, acceptance, recognition that what you are experiencing is both common and unique, and the essential counsel that you need not ever "get over it." <p/><i>Winter of the Heart</i> is for those who mourn the death of a loved one, but it is also for counselors and pastoral ministers. You'll find D'Arcy's words relevant for other occasions when mourning can be painful, including the end of a marriage, job loss, and other major life changes.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Paula D'Arcy<br><b>Publisher:</b> Ave Maria Press<br><b>Published:</b> 02/16/2018<br><b>Pages:</b> 64<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.15lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 6.80h
