Our lives are marked by a variety of losses. Some are life-changing like leaving home, the death of a loved one, divorce, retirement. Others are more subtle, such as changing jobs, moving, illness, a broken friendship. No matter what kind of loss you encounter, this course/book can help you find hope. Writing from his experience, Norman Wright covers such issues as: The meaning of grief, learning to express and share grief, ungrieved losses, the loss of identity, helping others with their losses. Christian author H. Norman Wright has written 65 books, is a marriage and family counselor, and conducts grief-recovery seminars.
As this is an online course, you can work thru the material at your own pace, however, it will be to your advantage to also get Norman Wright's book.

"I thought I had died and gone to heaven". When people say this, they mean that they experienced something pretty awesome.
Let me introduce you to Martin. He died and went to heaven on April 11, 1997, at the age of 15. I am sure for him this was an awesome experience, but for us, his family, it was devastating.
However, due to this event, this grief course was started. It is my prayer that this course will help you recover as it has helped me.
On the bright side of things: We are 13 years closer to seeing Martin again! Praise the Lord!
