From the office of a seasoned grief counselor, this book is an essential
guide to grief. It shines a light into the darkness and illuminates the
lifelong journey of integrating loss into life. It is a spiritual
companion to higher healing that offers a shift, a redirection from pain
and suffering to the sacred qualities of compassion, love, connection,
gratitude, and transformation.
This book takes Ashley Davis Bush's seminal Transcending Loss grief
model and elevates it to a new level by providing a light-filled lens
with which to process and metabolize loss. Bush describes a dimension of
higher healing which provides an essential balm to the shattered heart.
She will lead you to a broad experience of support, to a source of light
within and beyond the self that is essential to a healthy grieving
process.
A guide on your journey from shock to transcendence, this book shows you
how Love, Connection, Compassion, Faith, and Transcendenceorient and
soothe a broken spirit. At the end of each chapter, you will be
introduced to five specific "Light-Shift Practices" that integrate the
chapter's concepts and facilitate the healing process.
Grieving is a universal yet disorienting and devastating experience. But
like the ancient Japanese art form of kintsugi which repairs broken
pottery with golden lacquer, grief is healed by filling the cracks in
your life with light, creating beauty from brokenness. Embracing a
higher perspective makes the journey more bearable, the experience more
meaningful, and the future more expansive.
