In this nonfiction book,A Hand to Hold, Lauraine helps us release the fears that make us uncomfortable around those who grieve. She urges us to offer those who grieve the gifts of touch, tears, talk, and time.

September 11th, 2001 - It was a morning just like any other, but it would soon turn into a national tragedy; leaving many to ponder the question: “Where Was God?” Some have asked it in earnest, while others have asked it derisively, but regardless of the intent it is a question that I truly believe deserves to be answered.

I mean, if God really loves us, than how could he have allowed something so horrific to have happened? I decided to use my experience, as a former ...

The recent Covid crisis has to a great extent forced the world, and us, to face something we tend to not want to face, death. The Covid pandemic (regardless about your political leanings toward it and regardless of the accuracy of the fatality figures), with its suffocating effects, has forced us to consider death. As we hear about people dying, know people who have died, and consider our own mortality and potential death (if we have tested positive), the sting of death has touched us. There is good news for us to receive. Resurrection as taught in the Bible and as it is a part of the ...

Losing a loved one is often our greatest fear in life. We are trying to find our way on unfamiliar grounds, not knowing where it will lead us to. Working through grief is such an unknown journey, yet it is one we must learn to navigate with new meaning and clarity. Without a one-size-fits-all approach to grieving, we are unsure of what to do in our own grief when it hits us. We often don't know what to do or what to say when trying to help others grieving a loss either. Thinking we are going to cause more pain, we do nothing to help the bereaving or we try to “fix them”.
