Loss is painful. Separation hurts. We need comfort. 

Oblivious to our suffering, the world around us speeds on as if nothing happened. Stunned, shocked, sad, confused, and angry, we blink in disbelief. The pain can be immense.

We look for comfort. We long for it. Grieving hearts need it to survive.

Award-winning author, hospice chaplain, and grief counselor Gary Roe has become a trusted voice to many hurting, grieving hearts. Written with heartfelt compassion, this easy-to-read, warm, and practical book reads like a caring conversation with a friend and is destined to become a classic for those looking for hope and encouragement in times of loss.  

Whether you’ve lost a spouse, child, parent, sibling, relative, or friend, Gary’s desire is to meet you in your grief and walk with you there. Composed of brief chapters, Comfort for Grieving Hearts is designed to be read one chapter per day, giving you bite-sized bits of comfort, encouragement, and healing over a period of time. You do not have to read it this way, of course.  We all grieve differently. Read in the way that is most natural for you.

Please don’t grieve alone. Be kind to yourself. Take your heart seriously. Read on. Comfort awaits you in these pages of this book.
