Synopsis :

*OVER 1 MILLION COPIES SOLD*

The classic guide for dealing with grief and loss. Day-by-day reflections to find solace in our own lives, and comfort in the connection of sharing these meditations with countless others.

After the focus on planning and outpouring of love from family and friends in the immediate aftermath following the loss of a loved one, we are left without a map for coping with grief as we enter a new version of our lives where someone important is missing.

For days, months, years, the pain of the loss can crash in all at once. It is tempting to push that wave of grief back and soldier on with our new lives, but the loss will never lose its controlling power if we don’t find the courage and love to face it. Meditating on the loss, along with the rush of love that comes with it, gives us a chance to rejoice in the life that was shared, and to look forward in which memories of our loved ones continue to bless us.

The short, poignant daily meditations given here follow the course of the year, but it is not a necessity to follow them chronologically. They will strengthen, inspire, and give comfort for as long as they are needed.  

This classic guide doesn’t offer easy answers, but a quiet, compassionate space to heal.

• Bereavement Support: Gentle, day-by-day reflections that meet you where you are, offering a hand to hold through the days, months, and even years of sorrow.
• A Companion in Grief: Written with the deep empathy of an author who has experienced the profound loss of a child and knows the terrain of sorrow firsthand.
• Grief Recovery: Short, poignant passages designed for a time when concentration is difficult, allowing you to find a moment of peace without feeling overwhelmed.
• Finding Solace: A year-long structure that you can follow chronologically or dip into whenever you need it, finding the right message for the right day.
