I carried this book with me everywhere in the months following my father’s death. It is filled with wisdom and tenderness. This book gave me new language to help explain some of what I was going through, as well as introduce me to some actions/rituals I could try to help heal my hurting heart as I missed my dad. It is a beautiful book.
From Laura's list on transform grief and loss into something beautiful.
I love this book because it has so many wonderful rituals to support grief tending. As Francis Weller trained with Malidoma and Sobonfu Somé, who I am deeply influenced by, reading this book feels like another transmission from these elders.
The language is poetic and soothing. This book was a dear companion to me on my journey with grief.
