Description
Kindah and Joan Greening can empathize with others going through the trauma of losing someone because they have been through it themselves. Early in their ministry, they lost their first daughter as a baby and then several years ago, their adult daughter passed on through a sudden illness. The desire to understand his own personal grief has grown into a worldwide ministry as Kindah has reached out to help others cope with grief and crisis.
It wasn't always easy. Kindah recalls suffering depression, inner conflict, guilt, anger, recriminations and ultimately his health began to break down. In an effort to try and comprehend what he was going through, he started his research. He found that everything he and his wife were feeling was normal. He learned that the pain and grief could take years to work through.
This new-found knowledge gave Kindah fresh insight into the suffering of others. What began as comforting individual people, grew into a regular community program run by the Centre and, ultimately, the series of seminars entitled "Coping with Grief and Crisis" which is now taking him to all corners of the globe.
This book is designed to assist the griever understand and cope with his grief, as well as give those around him some clues on how to best support the griever in their midst.
