New Religion

Losing someone you love is a painful and often lonely time. You will have a companion in this book. Based on heartfelt and professional experience, you will be guided through three thresholds of grief-Fire: facing uncertainty and the ending, Pilgrimage: the inner work of grieving, and Beauty: living again with hope and courage.

I want to engage readers in their capacity for transcendence, of seeing the world just differently enough to realise there is an ascent following every descent. It seems to be the polarity of life, yet it is a continuum and a healing cycle. The descent into suffering cannot be avoided, but once fully experienced, you are free to rise up and take flight. Once again, you see the beauty in the world, hear the song sung for you and know how beautiful and resilient you are.
