The 7 Intentions of Mourning
A Guided Pathway to Healing and Hope
John & Sandy O’Shaughnessy
When we unite our suffering with the suffering Christ, we learn that it can be redemptive and fruitful as part of His salvific mission. The Seven Intentions of Mourning are each conscious choices and together a unique pathway to healing where our grief finds a meaningful expression. Each intention is distinctly positioned to help us carry our personal cross of grief, as we discover that love endures all and that good can come from bad when there is hope.
“A book that offers to all who have suffered loss the permission to grieve in our own unique way with the potential for a transformative and indeed redemptive experience.”
Deacon Steve MitchellArchdiocese of Detroit
“This powerful book draws us into the natural and supernatural dynamics of grieving, mourning, and suffering that finds meaning when united to the grace of Christ’s victory over suffering and death. Highly recommended to all, but especially for support groups dealing with those suffering or struggling to find a path through the pain.”
