This biblical resource draws on experiences from Galagher's life, and includes a theme, relevant Scripture passages, personal illustrations, and practical steps to take toward healing in each meditation. Just as a physical injury takes time to mend, emotional and spiritual anguish require time, patience, and faith to heal. Perspective is often lost during painful times, and the Scripture passages in this book are a fresh reminder of God's love and faithfulness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost people have heard about the stages of grief, but knowing the stages academically is quite different from knowing them in the heart. \u003ci\u003eHealing Takes Time\u003c\/i\u003e helps those suffering loss, loneliness, and sorrow prayerfully walk through the stages of grief step-by-step. \u003ci\u003eHealing Takes Time\u003c\/i\u003e is ideal for support groups or people working at their own pace.
