Life can be uncertain and when sudden or lingering pain, sickness, and heartache brings us to
the_realization that our life or the life of someone we love will sooner or later come to an end.
What will we do? How will we ever get through the pain and suffering? Some will
turn to drugs, work, activity, food, or shut themselves up with their pain—anything that will help
them find a peaceful place in their heart that assures them they will come through this and have joy once more. _________
Separation of any kind can be hard, but the separation by death is perhaps the hardest of all; especially when it is the death of a one we loved and cherished here on earth. But, I know for certain that those of us who turn to God will find that there was Someone there all along who was helping us and was going through this with us and gave us a strength we did not know we had. Life happens and things can change in one moment (it did for me), but I believe
(No I know) God will take these heartaches and give us a renewed hope and peace,
If you are hurting, this book has just the words you need.

About the Book
As a pastor’s wife, author Joan Knierim stood with those who had to say good-bye to a loved one for the last time, and she expressed her love and sympathy. However, not until God suddenly called her husband home to heaven did she realize the pain, grieving, and loneliness that was ahead for her.
In I Never Knew How You Hurt until Your Pain Became Mine, Knierim opens her heart about her pain and how God brought her through the most difficult time of her life. She shares her personal story of loss and offers both practical and spiritual advice and encouragement for those who are suffering and for those who are wanting to help others deal with their pain.
Grounded in scripture, I Never Knew How You Hurt until Your Pain Became Mine helps those grieving to find hope and peace in the midst of pain and suffering. Knierim invites those suffering to give their pain to the Lord and seek his eternal joy—where all will be reunited as a family once more.
