If you love, you will grieve--and nothing is more mysteriously central
to becoming fully human. This book is a companion to carry with you
throughout your day, to touch in with and be supported by when bearing
the unbearable pain of a loved one's death--whether weeks or years since
their passing. Our culture often makes the bereaved feel alone,
isolated, broken, and like they should just "get over it"--this book
offers a loving antidote. Open to any page and you'll find something
that will instantly help you feel not alone, while honoring the full
weight of loss.
This book is comprised of quotations from Bearing the Unbearable, and
other sources as well, plus an enormous amount of new material from Dr.
Jo. Especially well-suited for the grieving mind that may struggle with
concentration, just 30 seconds on any page will empower, hearten, and
validate any bereaved person--helping give strength and courage to bear
life's most painful losses.
