There is no way out of grief, only through grief. Only by letting ourself experience grief can we move beyond it.  Beyond - not to the old way of being what was once "normal"; not to denial of our hurt; not to resentment and bitterness. But beyond - to fully integrating loss into life, to richer understanding, renewed purpose, deeper spirituality, rebirth. 

This book of gentle meditations provides a wise and sensitive dissenting voice by demonstrating how the grieving process takes time and deserves attention.
