About this title

From the Author:

Annually in the United States about 2,000,000 people die. They leave behind them many times that number in grieving individuals (of all ages) who need comfort and counsel. And at any given time in the U.S. there are 8,000,000 widows and 3,500,000 widowers. All need comfort, and information on how to cope with change, loneliness, and their sense of loss.

Dr. Cyril Barber has spent twenty years as a pastoral counselor. The information contained within the 216 pages of his book entitled Through the Valley of Tears, offers sage counsel ably combining practical experience with the teaching of God's Word.

From the Inside Flap:

ANNUALLY IN THE UNITED STATES ABOUT TWO MILLION PEOPLE DIE, LEAVING BEHIND THEM MANY TIMES THAT NUMBER OF GRIEVING HEARTS IN NEED OF PERSPECTIVE AND COMFORT.

Many are husbands or wives who reach for the missing partner on the other side of the bed, only to feel the cool, empty sheets. Others are children, young and old, who suddenly realize that their hero is gone, leaving the world a strange, uncomfortable, somewhat menacing place. Some are parents whose plans and dreams fade away as they watch their child slip out of their arms into the arms of God.

Dr. Barber writes separately about each age group (toddlers, young children, older children, and teens) that faces the loss of a parent. He also has some very practical advice for widows and widowers, for those who re marry and for those who blend children of both surviving parents into one new family.

Do you have a grieving heart? Is there a friend whose eyes well up with tears at the thought of their lost loved one? Take the gentle, caring words offered in Through the Valley of Tears and apply them wherever they are needed.
