Reassurances in Grief: How the Lord’s Prayer Brought Peace to My Grieving Heart - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

“I’m sorry, Mr. Yang. Karen has passed away.” Eugene’s wife of 20 years, Karen Kulzick-Yang, laid on that hospital bed, not moving…at peace. She had fought valiantly for 4 years with stage 4 breast cancer, but it had become too much. The cancer had metastasized to other parts of her body. Eugene was in shock; he held her hand one more time, and cried the deep, long, wracking cry of a love lost. "I can’t deal with this; I don’t want to deal with this!"In the ensuing nights, sleep was elusive. Memories and worries stalked him; life going forward was going to be hard, caring for his three younger children now without a mother. He turned to the Bible to try to find peace, to make sense of all this. He came upon Matthew 6:9-13, also known as the Lord’s Prayer. "I must’ve said this prayer countless times in church or praying with my children."As he read it over and over again, it began to take on a whole new meaning. He found peace and solace in this passage – he allowed the passage to marinate into his soul and, from there, he discovered a richness that emerged that he had not known before. He began to journal his ideas and thoughts, coalescing into this book. "It is my prayer that, for you who have begun or are in the journey of grief, that these words bring comfort and solace, and that you may find the same peace that I now have."
