Words of Appreciation

Deborah, in Good Grief, you have offered us a gift. You have created a resource that shows us what righteous grief looks like and how, when our sorrow is surrendered to the Lord, it can become a pathway toward gratitude, healing, and renewed hope. This book is truly a much-needed guide for those walking through grief themselves, as well as for those who are supporting and comforting others in the midst of it.

Your work reminds me of the words found in the Psalms:

Psalm 112:6–7
“He will never be shaken; the righteous will be remembered forever. He will not fear bad news; his heart is confident, trusting in the Lord.”

Pastor Jerome Gay

Jr. Vision Church RDU

“Good Grief”... How can those two words go together? In this book, Deborah has woven them together as she relates her experience with grief following the death of her beloved husband, Edward.  If you are experiencing loss or grief of any kind this is an inspiring message to help you work through the many stages of grief in a positive way that allows for the heart to begin to mend and  for you to find new meaning and purpose for your life. As she shares, it isn’t easy or quick, but it is possible.  Please hear Deborah’s words and lean on her helpful expressions of re-finding balance between”the grief and the good” that is still possible for you.  It will be a blessing to you.

Like ours, Deborah’s walk through grief is palpable. Unlike hers, however, at least for me, I found myself without words, no articulate means to express it. No vehicle for it to ride. And that’s okay for a time. But in time, processing it, to me, has brought an inner healing through reading this book. Loss, and the pain remains, but I can live with gratitude that God allowed me to love so deeply, that I can mourn.
Deborah, you have helped me to sit quietly and allow myself and others I treasure to go on their personal grief journey. I plan to leave this book replete with God’s Word, which I trust to provide comfort and peace.

I finished your book this morning. I absolutely loved it!! You really poured your heart and soul into this book. I especially appreciated seeing the different levels of grief explored, particularly from the perspective of a believer and watching your progression along the way. The rawness and truth were deeply relatable. In some ways, I felt like I was past my own grief, but your words brought back those familiar feelings; in other ways, it made me realize, “Hold up, I may need to revisit some healing here.” I loved both the format and the reflection questions. I am believing with you, that this book gets into the right hands, so God can use it to heal broken hearts and challenge those who might be stuck in grief without even knowing it. I wanted to share some specific parts that truly shook me and stood out the most: My absolute favorite chapter was “Disrupted Faith.”

From the very first paragraph, Deborah Constantine’s book, Good Grief? Journey Through Pain and Sorrow, Discovery and Loss, drew me in instantly. Her honest and vulnerable recounting of the profound loss of her husband deeply touched my heart, capturing the raw reality of her own grief in a way I have not previously seen expressed.

What keeps you turning the pages, however, is far more than just a memoir of sorrow. It is the steady stream of hope and constant encouragement woven into every single step of her journey. This book never preaches. Instead, it serves as a compassionate companion that validates the complex emotions of loss. It gently guides. It clarifies. It meets you exactly where you are and assures you that you are not alone while leading the reader forward to overcoming.
