The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Experiencing Grief
by Wright H Norman.

A Grief Sanctified
by J I. Packer
This is a book for Christian people about six of life's realities - love, faith, death, grief, hope, and patience. Centrally, it is about grief. The author guides you in comparing and contrasting the world's and the Bible's ideals on coping with these tides of life. The powerful combination of Packer's insights and Baxter's grief gives you a beacon if you are searching for God, a pathfinder for your relationships, and a lifeline if you are grieving.

My Companion Through Grief
by Gary Kinnaman

And grief is an important part of healing emotions after the loss of a loved one. As a pastor, Gary Kinnaman has wide experience in assisting those who grieve. His insights into how to bring life into death include dealing with memories, both good and bad; coping with the loss and finally resolving it; and answering the unsolved mystery of 'Why?'

Pastors, counselors, friends and you yourself will find comfort for these darkest hours.

Finding Your Way Through Grief
by Kim Thomas
Is it wrong to have emotions? Of course not, says Thomas. Even Jesus wept. Using examples of biblical women, this accomplished artist and writer addresses feelings such as anxiety (Martha), regret (Eve), and emptiness (Sarah). You'll discover that your sensitivities can lead to good things such as repentance, release, redemption---and, best of all, the Savior!
Readers will find that emotions can lead to good things, such as repentance and health, release and redemption. They will also discover that emotions will lead them to the best thing of all--Jesus--and that He is not afraid to weep with them even as He answers the cries of their hearts.
hope some of these help you in your journey to recovery!
take care <>< tsuriyel
