A Different Kind of Grief: When Eternal Hope is Unsure walks through the valley with those who are deeply mourning the loss of a loved one. For most Christians, we can mourn with eternal hope. But what if the one lost did not claim the name of Christ? How can a believer mourn in hope when the one lost may be eternally so? Emmie Seals gently walks her readers from the despair of the initial loss into the hope that is only found in Christ Jesus. With personal stories, Scripture readings, suggested songs, writing prompts, and soothing coloring pages, the mourner is led gently through the process of grief into hope and faith again. A Different Kind of Grief reminds you that you are not alone. Though your pain, your fear and doubt, or your anger may abound while in this valley, the Lord has not forsaken you. He will carry you through - even though His footsteps may be unseen.
