I read it in one sitting and drew hearts in so many places. Cec Murphey and Liz Allison share simple yet profound truths that bring hope when everything seems hopeless. It's the kind of book that almost whispers, <i>You're not crazy</i>. <i>You won't always feel this way</i>. No, grieving isn't an easy process, but with the comfort this book brings, we understand we're not alone. My favorite sentence is just two words--two beautiful words. 'Little joys.' Little joys begin to usher healing. There's no hurry. No race to win. With grieving, it's best to take your time."<br><b>--Julie Garmon, writer and speaker</b></p><br><br><p>"Cecil Murphey and Liz Allison combine their personal experiences to cultivate a solid resource in their book, <i><b>Words of Comfort for Times of Loss</b></i>.
