When Rosemary Pavey-Snell's husband died of cancer, her world
was shattered. Despite being a counsellor and psychotherapist
herself, she had no way to prepare for something so terrible.
But she remembered what her husband, Allan, always used to say
before going to bed: "It will be all right in the morning." Most of
the time, he was right.
She remembered those words often, but she still experienced the
same thoughts and feelings as anyone else who loses someone
special. At times, she was in denial. She called upon her faith for
strength. She found it difficult to ask others for help.
Regardless of whether you are suffering from a loss, counselling
someone, or just trying to be a good friend, this personal journey
through grief offers hope that mourning may eventually turn to
joy.
"Rosemary Pavey-Snell gives us a poignant and, at times,
heart-rending account of her own grieving after the unexpectedly
early death of her beloved husband. From this experience she then
provides an invaluable resource for counselors and pastoral workers
who find themselves involved in the accompaniment of the bereaved.
This is self-revelatory writing at its best and will be an
invaluable aid to all those who have the privilege of walking
alongside those in grief. It will also be a sure comfort for those
who are themselves struggling with the absence of a much-loved
companion." -Brian Thorne, emeritus professor of counselling,
"University of East Anglia," Lay Canon of Norwich Cathedral
