Brokenhearted: Ministering in Times of Grief by Colquitt Nash
When words fall short, presence speaks loudest.
Brokenhearted: Ministering in Times of Grief by Colquitt Nash is a practical guide for anyone called to walk beside people who are suffering.
How This Book Helps
Grief is a language few understand until it speaks to them. Ministers, elders, and friends often feel unprepared at a hospital bedside or after a funeral, and they fall back on clichés.
Drawing on decades of ministry, Colquitt Nash covers what to say and not say, what to do when you're called to the hospital, how to walk with someone after the funeral, and how to serve families after a suicide or the loss of a child. With biblical grounding and compassion, he helps readers become a steady, healing presence. The book includes spiritual assessments and conversation starters for critical moments.

Who It's For
Ministers, elders, church leaders, counselors, small group leaders, and any Christian who wants to comfort the grieving well.
