Encouragement and inspiration from across faith traditions for walking with sorrow and honoring loss.
As an expression of the soul, grief has its own purposes and timing.... You can let grief work for you by responding to it imaginatively.... Grief may feel overwhelming, but that is only because it is time for you to expand your heart and make it capable of far more love and connection. In this way, grief is a pathway to a more soul-centered life." --from the Introduction by Thomas Moore

This book includes twenty-six heart-wrenchingly honest essays by parents who convey their personal challenges and the ways they coped during the first twelve months after losing a child.

Build resilience in the midst of despair and hopelessness
Nurture your mind, body, and soul as you grieve
Discover hope without masking the reality of your pain
Find ways to live with purpose, not just survive
Feel supported and know that you are not alone
This book also helps friends and family understand a grieving parent's struggle and how best to provide support.
Let this book be your companion on your grief journey or as you support the bereaved.
