“When Sorrow Comes: What Can God, You, and Others Do to Help Cope with Grief?” by Dr. Richard Dew was displayed at the 2023 Frankfurt Book Fair (Frankfurter Buchmesse) – Book Gallery
“When Sorrow Comes: What Can God, You, and Others Do to Help Cope with Grief?” by Dr. Richard Dew was among the books displayed by Author Reputation Press during the Frankfurt Book Fair 2023 in Frankfurt, Germany, on October 18–22, 2023.
This book is highly praised by Carol Anderson, D.Min., ACSW, MSW, of the US Review of Books, and highlighted, “The advice on how to cope with one’s grief and help others to cope is one of the standouts of the book. By writing from his own experiences with the grief process, the author adds special insight into what it is like to go through such loss. He uses poetry and biblical quotes to add to the connection of healing, and there is much pertinent information on ways to cope and heal. The book is written from a Christian worldview, so it may prove especially valuable to Christian believers. Overall, it is a good read and may be helpful to many people.”
The Frankfurter Buchmesse, reportedly known as the world’s largest trade fair for books, opened its doors to participants around the globe celebrating books and their authors. The massive book fair also celebrated its 75th anniversary this year. Slovenia, their guest of honor this year, presented itself as a nation with a rich literary history in addition to being a desirable tourism destination.
It is the best platform for publishers and authors to engage with international audiences and share stories. This year, over 105,000 trade visitors from 130 countries and 110,000 audiences participated in this big event. This year attracted more visitors compared to last year when there were 93,000 trade visitors and 87,000 audiences. Over 2,600 activities were covered by more than 7,000 media professionals during the five days of the exhibition.
Author Reputation Press is dedicated to promoting literary connections between authors and readers. In line with this, ARP displayed several of its remarkable books at the largest book trade fair in the world. The book gallery was even more alluring because of the large variety of genres on exhibit.

“When Sorrow Comes: What Can God, You, and Others Do to Help Cope with Grief?” by Dr. Richard Dew was displayed at the 2022 Frankfurt International Book Fair. It is the biggest book fair in the world, both in terms of the number of publishing houses present and the number of professional and general public attendees. It is regarded as the most significant book fair in the world for worldwide business and trading.
The Frankfurt Trade Fair Grounds in Frankfurt, Germany, host the five-day yearly event in the middle of October. A popular exhibit in the USA Pavilion, the New Title Showcase receives significant pre- and post-fair publicity. The Combined Book Exhibit New Title Showcase is part of the large USA Pavilion and attracts thousands of people to the booth.
“When Sorrow Comes: What Can God, You, and Others Do to Help Cope with Grief?” is divided into six chapters addressing various aspects of the topic, such as God and grief, helping yourself and others, special circumstances like the death of a child, grief relative to homicide, suicide, and substance abuse, and ways to hold onto faith.
It explores what grief is, its stages, and the symptoms within each one while examining why the loss has happened and other existential questions. Taking steps to heal oneself, such as doing activities, being alone, taking care of one’s physical health, attending support groups, and doing rituals, can help. The chapter on helping other grieving people also offers what to do and what not to do.
