    About this ebook

    Seasons of Hope offers unique grief support for Catholics that focuses on the spiritual side of grieving the death of a loved one and invites individuals to meet Christ through scripture, prayer, reflection, and simple activities that offer comfort and help foster healing and spiritual growth.

    • last encounter
    • the Garden of Gethsemane
    • Crown of Thorns
