In the past the word grief was used only to describe the sorrow of loss through death. Nowadays pain coming from other kinds of losses such as rejection and divorce are also seen to involve grieving. Even though Weeping with Jesus is not designed to help with such forms of grief, what you read could help you encounter the personal love of Jesus for you in any kind of heartbreak.

My grief was intense. I read the manuscript of Weeping with Jesus and it gave me what I need to have hope in the midst of my tears. The book showed me how to lift up my husband’s soul into the arms of Christ and surround him with heavenly angels. – Dorothy Scalise, Parish Prayer Warrior, St. Charles Borromeo Church, North Carolina

The Bereavement Miracles program was designed to play a quintessential role in evangelizing the “spirit of mission” to individuals who are suffering from the death of a loved one by relating eternal realities in a systematic program/approach that integrates understanding of human sorrow to the nature of divine love and renewal. It has twelve steps as follows:
Step One: Due to the loss of a loved one, we admitted that our lives have become unmanageable.

Step Eleven: Through the sharing and caring of the Bereavement Miracles fellowship, we rallied ourselves with God at our side, praying only for “thy will be done.”

Step Twelve: Through God’s healing presence brought about by these twelve steps, we carried a message of hope, joy and encouragement to others, thanking God in worship and praise, seeking to rise in the service of God our Lord to greater perfection.

“Because of this program, I now remember my late husband as he truly was. My memories aren’t tainted by misplaced guilt. I have been able to remember my husband with a sense of joy-and actually be happy for him that he is at peace in heaven.” Barbara, Wallingford, CT
“The program was well thought through combining our faith and fellowship. The healing power of the Holy Spirit could truly be felt. The program brought us together in unity and hope and dispelled feelings of guilt.” Monica, Northford, CT
“At first I was skeptical about attending, but after attending I realized I had nothing to be afraid about. It helped me to open up to myself and about my feelings.” Don, Meriden, CT
“After my son’s death by suicide I stopped having faith in God, now I do believe after being in this program.” Anonymous, Meriden, Connecticut
“We just finished our program last evening with a pot-luck before the meeting. It was a lovely and appreciated end. Participants and leaders were helped by the spiritual approach to grieving. They have benefited personally and hope to better help others. We received six questionnaires thus far from the sixteen who completed the program, all positive, and they would recommend the program. We had a very dedicated group of leaders and they are a great blessing to this ministry. Thank you, Mike, for your help too in this very important ministry. We plan to carry on with monthly gatherings until our next program, possibly twice a year.”

“Don DeMarco has once again provided his reading audience with a strong testimony in support of human life, not just in this part or in that part of our existence, but in all of it. He models within this book the famous observation by St. Irenaeus, that ‘the glory of God is man fully alive, but man fully alive is man when he sees God.’” – Dr. Sebastian Mahfood, OP, Associate Professor of Interdisciplinary Studies, Holy Apostles College & Seminary
“Professor DeMarco is a national Catholic treasure. His work gives witness to our faith in a world which is increasingly seeking to exclude Christian perspectives from the public square.” – Phil Horgan, President of the Catholic Civil Rights League (CCRL)

Don DeMarco in his How to Flourish in a Fallen World provides direction in how to navigate through what Benedict XVI once called our “painful between state.” As human beings we aspire to and are born for a more perfect world that only can be fulfilled in the life to come. These heavenly aspirations inspire us, after the example of the saints, to pattern our earthly existence after heavenly realities while being aware of our proclivity to sin and that this world is passing. This book gives the reader intellectual incentives toimprove our earthly existence and, at the same time, helps to temper the reader’s enthusiasm to improve this world by its clear awareness of our fallen state. – Fr. Peter Samuel Kucer, MSA, author of Political Science from a Catholic Perspective
