How to Handle Her Personality Disorder, Break Codependency and Recover from Emotional Abuse

Narcissistic Mother

Grief should act as a temporary buffer for pain and sorrow. This book points out how Christianity turns this temporary buffer into joy. After describing the pain and sorrow in the pit, suddenly dug by the loss of a loved one, the author puts faith to work. She outlines how the Christian community assisted her in facing her failures as a parent and how the reading of scriptures kept her faith alive. Faith has the power of freedom and uses tribulation, perseverance, and character as stepping stones to hope. Faith, hope and love puts grief aside, and sends joy in it’s place. The author describes in detail, sometimes with humor, how the return of joy ENRICHED her life.
