The Tender Scar

Life After the Death of a Spouse

About this book

"Powerful words, won in the conflict between heartbreak and healing."--Dr. Dan L. Griffin

Offering hope and healing for the brokenhearted, The Tender Scar addresses the heart-wrenching pain of losing a spouse. Working from journal entries written after the death of his wife, Mabry uses his own journey as a stepping-stone to a practical discussion of the grief process. In this second edition, Mabry includes a new chapter that highlights the process of building a second marriage and blended family after loss.
