Gift for a grieving parent

Healing grief from an Islamic perspective, using verses from the Quran and Sunnah. Losing a child is one of the most painful experiences a parent can go through. In such difficult times, people often turn to their religion. Furthermore, the author draws on her experience as a Muslim chaplain at a children's hospital to clarify some of the questions and confusion a grieving Muslim parent might have or feel. "A Gift for the Grieving Parent" gives the grieving parent an opportunity to act like a human being, while providing comfort, healing, and gentle encouragement during the grieving process. It is a guide and companion to turn to again and again.
