This beautifully illustrated anthology has been created to provide all those things in abundance--new friends, wisdom, and honest companionship in the face of dying. This description may be from another edition of this product.
Of all the books I have encountered about love and loss through death, this is my favorite. The quotes are short and speak directly to the heart. It has comforted me, not only in the wake of a recent death, but anytime I seek an affirmation of what counts most in life, and how we come to that in times of loss.
A rumor of angels
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I bought this book, mainly by chance, the year my mother died. I would find myself looking at it at traffic lights or while waiting to pick up my kids. It helped to have my feelings put into words by far more gifted craftmen than I. I find myself giving it to friends who experience tragedies. It has been out of print for some time and is becoming difficult to find. It shouldn't be. It is truly a gift.
A gathering of wisdom on living, dying and letting go
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
This is a small book of quotations having to do with living, dying and letting go. Since buying my first copy in 1990, I have given away many, many copies to friends who have lost someone. Tonight I have used it again, to help me write to a friend who just lost his brother in a car accident
