Chicken Soup for the Grieving Soul: Stories About Life, Death and Overcoming the Loss of a Loved One

This comforting serving of Chicken Soup is a thoughtful gift for those grieving the loss of a loved one.

This collection of inspirational stories will undoubtedly touch many hearts. Written by authors who have lost loved ones, these stories offer comfort, peace and understanding to those going through the grieving process.

Individual people deal with grief in their own ways and within their own time, but the guidance and support they receive from others is what helps them through it. One of the key messages of Chicken Soup for the Grieving Soul is that togetherness and sharing are the keys to moving on. In these stories people share their experiences with coping, and they share deep memories. Each one has found that putting thoughts and feelings into words is not only cathartic, but it allows them to reconnect with their loved one and others. Words of encouragement are plentiful in this edition, and they go straight to the heart.

Chapters encompass the complete grieving experience and include: Final Gifts, The Power of Support, Coping and Healing, Those We Will Miss, Special Moments, Insights and Lessons, and Living Again.

Readers will be comforted and inspired by the stories of regaining strength and hope, through holding meaningful services, performing thoughtful deeds and cherishing special memories. Most important, just as the writers have come to appreciate life through the grieving process, readers will discover how to do the same. This soothing bowl of stories is the perfect gift to bring comfort, strength and courage.

What better time for that healing bowl of Chicken Soup than while one is grieving. The poignantly beautiful stories have touched me gently after the loss of the best son and friend one could ever have lost to death. I highly recommend this version of Chicken Soup if you have lost a loved one or as a gift to one you know. Each short story is a reminder that life truly does go on after death, and the healing for those living is possible.

5 Stars Chicken Soup for the Grieving Soul: Stories About Life, Death, and Overcoming the Loss of a Loved One
This is an excellent read, as are all of Jack Canfield’s collections on the Chicken Soup series. I gifted this to a friend who just lost her young daughter, recently, and suddenly, I might add!

I am hoping she will find this a tool of sorts, and find that other folks of all ages and circumstances in life are making this same journey in testing their faith, and strengthening it, as well.

I depicted a certain story on page 13 for her, and she came back to me with a smile in church, and said that after reading this short story, it really fit! Thank you, Mr. Canfield and various authors, for your wonderful collections, and showing us as “FOOTPRINTS” suggests, HE carries us in times of trials, with ONE set of FOOTPRINTS!
