Gerome Singleterry’s Comfort in Time of Bereavement is a spiritual guide wrapped in love, scripture, and honest reflection. This book feels like a warm hand on your back during your lowest moments. It’s not preachy or too heavy — it’s full of heartfelt messages, Bible verses, and real-life stories that make you stop and think. Singleterry walks readers through the pain of losing a loved one, but he doesn’t leave them there. Instead, he points toward healing, faith, and hope. If you’re grieving, or just want something comforting and grounded in scripture, this book might be exactly what your heart needs.
It’s clear the author didn’t just write this — he lived it. He talks about losing his sister and daughter with raw honesty but wraps it all in the promise that death isn’t the end. What really hits hard is this passage:
“Remember death is not the final chapter it’s the beginning of a new one.”
— Comfort in Time of Bereavement, The Loss of a Loved One, p.13
It’s not just comforting. It’s powerful.
Faith When It Hurts Most
The pages of Comfort in Time of Bereavement are filled with messages that speak directly to the soul. Singleterry uses scripture to show how God is present through every stage of grief — from shock and sorrow to eventual peace. There are chapters that explain grief, the purpose of death, how to find peace, and how to remember the ones we’ve lost with joy instead of just sadness. It’s deeply rooted in the Bible, and every section has verses to guide and comfort, like steady reminders that you’re not walking through this alone.
He doesn’t sugarcoat the pain. He knows it can feel impossible to understand why our loved ones are gone. But he also knows where to point us — straight to God. That’s the whole point of the book: to remind us that even in our lowest moments, God’s presence is real. You’ll find stories that mirror your own loss and truths that feel like they were written just for you.
What makes this book really stand out is the way it balances emotion and encouragement. It’s written like a heartfelt letter from someone who’s been where you are and wants to help. He talks about how grief can linger, how Satan uses death to bring fear, and how leaning into God’s promises can shift that fear into peace. And somehow, he does all of this in a way that feels calm, gentle, and full of love.
A Life Lived in Faith
Gerome Singleterry was born in Jemison, Alabama, in 1953. He grew up in a big, loving family and gave his life to Christ at an early age at Holly Grove Baptist Church in his hometown. These days, he worships at Kingwood Church in Alabaster, Alabama, and continues to walk closely with God. He’s married to Donna, and together they have three daughters — Gabriele, Stephanie, and Tracy — plus two grandkids, Destin and Kayla. His life is full of family, faith, and a genuine love for helping others.
He wrote this book not from a place of theory, but from real experience. After losing his daughter Candice and his sister Joann, Gerome felt called to write Comfort in Time of Bereavement to support others walking through the same kind of pain. Even the way the book came about — from a conversation with a grieving customer at his RV dealership — shows you the kind of man he is: someone who listens, cares, and follows where God leads.
If you’ve lost someone, or know someone who has, Comfort in Time of Bereavement is a must read. The book invites you to grieve with God, trust his promises, and find peace in his word.
