Grief, forgiveness, and redemption as a way of transformation

"The traumatic loss of a loved one is among the most devastating hurdles that life can throw in a person's path. Such grief, whatever its cause, alters existence forevermore and confronts the survivor, eventually, with a choice: to move through pain into a more authentic way of being, or to withdraw from full engagement with the spiritual meanings of life and mortality. Drawing from her own experience, as well as from art, literature, and traditional wisdom, Elaine Pryce explores the spiritual aspects of grief, recovery from grief, forgiveness, and the blessings of acceptance. Discussion questions included." -- Back cover.
