grief speaks : understanding the language of the broken

Tragedy and loss are a normal part of our everyday lives, yet the darkness of certain situations keeps us from speaking about the painful truth of how these situations mark us. Those who have experienced tragedy and loss tend to keep the pain of their circumstances hidden due to fear of how others will react. Few people understand tragedy and loss until they have acutely felt the effects, and this book will help to shine some light on what others experience while trying to navigate the tumultuous waters of grief. Grief Speaks... is about the raw and real pain of grief and tragedy. Pastor Chrissy Kidd is an ordained elder in the Church of the Nazarene and a contingent chaplain at a local hospital. She is also part of the pastoral staff at Together Ministries Nazarene Church located in Thornville, Ohio. She currently preaches bi-weekly and has traveled to speak at local churches and grief groups. After the tragic accident and death of her husband, Jeremy, she has become a widow and single mom of two beautiful children, Lauren and Eli, and is now an advocate for anyone who is experiencing loss and grief.
