In The Grief Walk, Alister G. Hendery offers a heartfelt companion for those navigating the difficult journey of grief.
Drawing from decades of ministry experience, Hendery emphasizes the importance of walking alongside the grieving, echoing the sentiment of a friend who once said, “Someone who would walk with me."
This book is not just about coping with loss; it’s a guide for embracing grief as a pathway to something new.
The author delves into the complexities of disenfranchised grief, addressing losses that often go unrecognized and the deep sense of isolation they can create.
With profound empathy, he invites readers to acknowledge their unique experiences of grief, providing practical tools and insights to help individuals and their loved ones navigate this challenging terrain.
This resource is ideal for anyone grappling with loss, as well as those supporting grieving individuals.
Alister’s compassionate approach encourages reflection and conversation, fostering a deeper understanding of grief's role in our lives.
With a free downloadable study guide, The Grief Walk offers both personal solace and a valuable resource for small groups seeking to journey together through loss.
Praise for The Grief Walk
“The Grief Walk has a freshness and honesty about grief, beginning with its imaginative title and sustained until the final affirmation of hope.
We all experience loss and grief in our lives. But, as Hendery writes, until we name and acknowledge a loss and recognise that we have a right to grieve, we are unable to come to terms with it.
He emphasises that grief doesn’t follow a predetermined path and nor can we close it off like a tap. He describes a perceived end process of “closure" as psychobabble. While grief may not be permanently disabling, we learn to encompass it. This is not the same as closure.
Grief may find expression in different physical and emotional symptoms and we can’t expect religious faith to provide a magical answer. Finding someone who listens and understands, who in a sense personifies the presence of God, can help us with the grief journey.
The Grief Walk confronts the idea that grief is momentary or experienced in clearly-defined stages and points to a hope. This book is a gift for all who grieve or who walk with those who grieve." John Meredith in Tui Motu Magazine. Issue 253 October 2020: 27
“…Far too often, people present grieving as a one-way process with well-defined stages, concluding with something they call “closure". I strongly reject such an extremely unhelpful model. Alister does also; he is clear that your grieving is unique to you…" Rev’d Bosco Peters on Liturgy.co.nz
“This book will read you as you are reading it. It is a book you will pick up and put down and pick up and put down as you find yourself walking again thro
