Inside the Broken Heart: Grief Understanding for Widows and Widowers

How does the heart understand grief when it is broken by the death of a spouse? To survive and move forward, those who grieve must find answers. Written from an authentic, firsthand perspective, “Inside the Broken Heart” meets widows and widowers at their deepest point of need. After the sudden loss of her husband, author and lay grief facilitator Julie Yarbrough realized that grief is not a crisis of faith but a crisis of the heart—and that we grieve in direct proportion to the depth of our love.

“Inside the Broken Heart” uses topical Bible references to illuminate the unfamiliar emotions of spousal loss. By addressing both the spiritual and practical aspects of grief, this book offers specific coping strategies to guide survivors back to a fuller life. Discover how pain and sorrow can be transformed through hope, and find comfort in God's promise: “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds” (Psalm 147:3).
