In 1674, two years after his second wife's death, John Flavel published - A Token for Mourners.
In it he meditates on the words of Luke 7: 13: 'And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.
' From this verse the author helps the reader to think about grief, distinguishing 'moderate' sorrow from 'immoderate'.
He spells out what is appropriate for a Christian mourner and what is not.
This book is full of Scripture, counsel, warning, and wisdom gained from prayerful reflection on the personal experience of affliction in loss and grief.
