Finding Hope in the Darkness of Grief Spiritual Insights Expressed Through Art Poetry and Prose Diamante Lavendar 9781982205683 Books

I felt that this short piece of work that reminded me of inspiring beliefs and thoughts learned over my years on this earth was very uplifting and motivating, providing strength and refreshment as well as hope in a world that is becoming fast-paced and blind to those who are less fortunate. Here are some thoughts I culled from it to highlight the benefits of this book for you who is down and on the verge of suicide or a breakdown:

1. Even during the times you feel most alone, there is always a presence watching you…
As a true believer of the Lord on high, I know this to be true because He is all-seeing and all-knowing. He has never failed me so I assure you that is doubtful that God sees and knows your sadness and grief. You are never alone in this life. If you have a family, good for you. If you don’t have a family, well, there’s God above looking after you. You better believe it because it’s true.
2. Every hardship has a reason; every deprivation a purpose…
As a Christian and someone who is no stranger to hardship and struggle, I can assure you now fellow brother or sister who is losing hope that for every tear and broken heart I’ve experienced in life, I have realized that there is a reason and a purpose for their tearing and breaking. For God is not a merciless deity. He is also very just. When he sees that you are struggling or in pain, He will turn your tears and your sorrows to happiness and smiles. Oh I know because I know. Trust me and trust God.
3. Look to those who have traveled before you for wisdom and insight…
True to the max! Look to those who have gone before you for guidance is what the Author and myself is telling you now. And make sure that this person was a positive role model and a good one at that. Learn from their struggles and their wounds. And listen to their advice and counsel always. If you have parents who want the best for you then listen to them. They are older than you and have been through life before you did.
4. To fully understand life, we must understand loss…
I may be young but let me tell you this and the author knows this too by saying this in his/her book: you will come to realize the meaning of something when you lose it. It’s like a derivative of that saying: You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone. I have experienced so much loss in my years on this earth that I have come to understand why I am here on this earth. Go ahead, I tell you. Lose something or lose someone precious and then you will know that life is not a perfect bubblegum movie.
5. When we know we never truly die, that death is only a metamorphosis, we are free to live happier lives.
In my own understanding of this thought from Lavendar, when we know that the soul lives forever, that there is life after death, then we will be happy to live through every hardship or pain that may threaten to come for us, knowing that there is no such thing as death, that it is just a phase that we the children of God go through so no worries, don’t grieve forever. Appreciate life, God’s gift to us all.

And there you have them! Some amazingly wonderful thoughts from this book that will greet you when you read it. Why not buy a copy for yourself or a loved one for this upcoming holiday season. It’s the season for Thanksgiving and Joyfulness yeah? Celebrate it by nourishing anything that promotes love, goodwill and peace. And this book by this wonderful author just does that! Happy holidays!

Finding Hope in the Darkness of Grief Spiritual Insights Expressed Through Art Poetry and Prose Diamante Lavendar 9781982205683 Books Reviews

Finding Hope in the Darkness of Grief Spiritual Insights Expressed Through Art, Poetry and Prose by Diamante Lavendar is a beautiful collection of poetry, art, and prose that addresses many of life's moments. From grief to staying positive, Lavendar has a knack for looking at emotions and making them meaningful. Just about every other page contains beautiful art that calms the mind, and the lyrical poetry inspires you to look inward, shore yourself up and go on. Everyone experiences love and loss, and this multi-layered collection will resonate with many. The author has a way of connecting her personal experiences to anyone who might read this book. You will relate to and understand her pain, while perhaps healing your own. Highly recommend.
I think everyone will take something away from this book! This book will give you incite into your own feelings and offer encouragement on the healing process. No matter what the feelings are - Grief, sadness, fear, loss of control, helplessness, discouraged, there are writings in here for everything you may go through. Her writings have a nice easy way of talking you through offering you encouragement to go on.

I have a new job and it is much more stress than my old job and at times has been discouraging. There are some of these that I would love to print out and hang on my office walls!

Like this one I really like -

Everyone's got a dream. And no two dreams are exactly the same.
There's a divine reason for this. You were created for a purpose.
Instead of forcing this to happen, allow the Spirit to fill you
with the understanding of what it is.
This will change your life.

And this one (of course, being a Christian, for me it is God) -

Even during the times you feel the most alone,
there is always a presence watching you,
hearing your internal dialogue.
Don't be afraid. Don't feel alone.
Let the lead you.

Also a real nice touch is the pictures with the sayings on them that can easily be used as posters!

A beautiful oversize book with wonderful, touching poems and sayings and pictures!

I voluntarily posted this review after receiving a copy of this book from "Poetic Book Tours" and the author - Thank You!
I don’t normally review poetry or non-fiction, but I was willing to bend the rules for an old friend who’s been featured on The Rebel Christian before. I have no regrets in reviewing this book, it was a very short read and left me feeling inspired and thoughtful.

One of the things you should know about me already is that I’m a Believer in Christ. As I read, I began to see this book as more than just a short set of poems by Lavendar, to me it was like reading whispered prayers as she grieved and found comfort in those around her. It was both heartbreaking and heartwarming to see her thoughts on paper, I could only imagine the sort of strength it took to prevail in this sort of trial.

Beyond the gentle insight on grief and pain, I saw this book as a road to recovery for more than the tribulations Lavendar faced. I have not experienced the same pain as this author, but I have had my fair share of struggles—emotionally and spiritually. I think there is much to learn from this short read and if you will have the heart to open this book, you will find new ways to approach everyday shortcomings.

Life is not always as happy as we would like it to be, but there are ways to cope and, beyond that, there are ways to move forward. Whether you have suffered great loss, come down with an illness, struggled through an addiction or simply need a pick-me-up, I think you can find comfort and peace in this wonderfully written piece of literature.

I recommend this read to those who enjoy poetry. Anyone with a heart for emotional books will benefit from this and if you have an interest in spiritual inspiration, I would definitely suggest taking a look.
