On Death and Dying by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

I can not say I have read this thoroughly. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross is well known for her work in hospice. This book is very informational but keep in account she has died and the book is a classic but some of her research (as is with all research) debatable and outdated.

Safe in the Arms of Jesus by Robert P. Lightner

"God's Provision for the Death of Those Who Cannot Believe" ... which is a great book for those who have suffered the loss of a child or are mentally challenged. Ginney I thank you for this gift from the bottom of my heart.

Questions Kids Ask God, With Answers From Word by Honor Books

A cute book with letters written by children giving us some wisdom through their eyes. A gift left for me from Greggy (that I had given his older brother when he was a baby, who later gave it to Greggy).

My Baby & Me Story Bible by Tracy L. Harrast and illustrated by Gloria Oostema

A gift left for me from Greggy which contains 1 page stories from the bible. Veronica, I thank you for giving this to Greggy.

In the Arms of God by Dr. James Dobson

"In the Arms of God" by Dr. James Dobson containing "Comforting words from When God Doesn't Make Sense". Short verses to read with relaxing pictures of scenery.

God's Promises for KIDS by Countryman division of Thomas Nelson Inc. Nashville, TN with colorful art by Sandra Meyer.

I suggest this as a gift to adults (of course kids at any given time) in the very first stages of mourning, when you find it hard to focus or read. A gift left for me to find from my son Greggy.

"Believe" by Artist N.A. Noel

A beautiful book with poetry, words of wisdom and short stories containing painted portraits of babies, children, adolesences and animal angels. Thank you Sherry for this beautiful gift.

Open Discussion for Readings

Hi! Welcome to The Bayless Center for Grief Support Readings Blog. Please feel free to comment on books you have read and I will be glad to open them for commentation. The idea here is to talk about what articles, newletters, magazines, links and most of all books that have been helpful to you and why or why not. We can discuss what we do and do not agree with about the reading to better help and inform each other. Many of us have the desire to read but am not sure what are the best accurate sources or not even have to time. So if you have read something related to working with or coping with terminal illness and/or grieving please let me know what the reading is and all about it's source then I will post it for you to give us a brief summary. Thank you to one and all who choose to participate! Laurie
