A Portrait of Grief

While many books of grief provide helpful but heady information, A Portrait of Grief  provides acute care for those devastated by the loss of a child, holding readers’ hands through the early stages of loss—and providing guidance for sustained healing into the future.

A Portrait of Grief simply and truthfully tells about the God who is there, who reveals Himself gently but surely through His compassionate care and loving presence for those traveling through the “valley of the Shadow of death.”

Speaking with transparency and authenticity borne of personal experience, the author highlights the path that must be walked, the process that must be experienced, and the purposeful choices required to weather such loss—and eventually move joyfully into the future.

In concise chapters, the author points fellow grievers toward hope and renewal through personal stories, teachings, and music selected to soothe the soul.

This book points to the hope that lies ahead for all that grieve—for the best is yet to come.

  • David Cook

    “I have never read a more powerful book--period. This was written by God through the fingers of love. A love deeper than the well of human emotion. This book is a treasure to us all. It is literally God’s gift through Cheryl Christopher to you.”

  • Jim Hiskey

    “Cheryl Christopher crafted more than a treatise through the worst storms of grief; more than a textbook; more than moving stories. She did all of that and so much more. I read a few pages and before I knew it, I felt tears on my cheeks. Everyone who has deeply suffered should read this book or have it read to them. And share it with a friend.”

    When you see the smiling face of Cheryl Christopher in the back of this book, you would never imagine the journey she and her family have been through.

    Somehow the Christophers have survived. God has reached down, and they have reached up, leading them to a place today where Cheryl can share their story of loss and pain and hurt -- in a beautiful way that will touch your heart.
