|
Letting go of what we cherish is one of the hardest things we ever have to do. And that includes letting go of jobs, homes, relationships, good health, illusions, self-importance, and even loved ones. But unless we learn to say goodbye as well as hello, we are crippled by our suffering.
This tender and realistic book can be your personal guide to accepting our inevitable goodbyes even as it reminds us that when we are suffering most deeply, the seed of hope still lives within us. Discover the emotions that goodbyes awaken and turn to the twenty-four specific prayers designed to help you deal with nearly every imaginable kind of loss. PRAYING OUR GOODBYES should not be kept for special occasions, however, for its poetic wisdom offers the means of enriching every day, of saying hello and goodbye to every precious moment of life. |

I give this book rather than a card at many funerals, and even for many other types of losses people experience. They report back to me they keep it on their night stand (or any other place convenient for frequent use) and tell me it is so very helpful as they grieve their losses.

This is an amazing book for anyone suffering from a major loss or life change. Although the prayers reference the bible, the book is suitable for any denomination, in my opinion. I cherish this book and have given copies as gifts to my cousin who lost her mother and a friend who is experiencing a difficult divorce.

We used this work as a resources in a support for group for separated and divorced adults in our Catholic parish. The blend of poetry, prose and useful spiritual advice was exceptionally helpful to our group.
