For a family grieving a loved one, receiving the certified death certificate can be a painful reminder of their loss. We have chosen Grief Survivor as a gift we offer to families during that difficult meeting. The beautiful hardcover book reminds them their loved one has not been forgotten.
Tom Haren, Care PastorThese (Grief Survivor brand) books have been so helpful for families hurting and healing through the grieving process. Thank you, Beth Marshall for your obedience in creating this great gift to our people!
Sandra CountsI keep these healing books on hand to use as gifts when a friend or family member loses a loved one. The cost is only about twice that of a sympathy card- and SO much more useful! I order 10 at a time so I’ll always have one on hand.
Jon McDerment, PastorThroughout the years, Grief Survivor has been one of the most trusted resources for our church, as people process their way through one of life’s hardest seasons. Beth Marshall’s wise counsel and practical tools are essential for walking toward lasting healing.
