Surprised by Grief by Janine Fair
Losing a partner at a young age is a devastating experience. I know. I ve been there.' Janine shares the agonizing emotions, and the inner journey God took her on, after her biggest nightmare became reality literally overnight. She looks at the traps and pitfalls to which she was particularly prone, along with the overwhelming sense of loneliness she felt. And she shares the long and gruelling path towards recovering her sense of self and forging a new identity. 'God led me to set new priorities for myself,' she says, 'as I sought to move into the future with him, and enabled me to deal with the baggage of negative beliefs.' Finally, Janine places her grief in the context of a transition in order to understand her 'voyage of hope', ending with gratitude to God for all she has received from his hands.
Janine Fair spent eight years working as a medical doctor, with experience in both psychiatry and general practice, and was a clergy wife until the sudden death of her husband in 2004. Since that time she has qualified as a life coach and has worked alongside many young widows, as well as serving as Mentoring Coordinator at her local church. However her primary focus has been to build a wholesome family life in which she and her two children can thrive physically, emotionally and spiritually. She is a committed Christian and lives in Loughborough, Leicestershire. Her first book, 'Surprised by Grief - a journey into hope', was published in 2010 by IVP.
