This remarkable, unconventional—and even adventurous—account of the death of the author’s husband, and her fierce determination to find him again beyond death, blazes a new trail in books about recovery from heartbreak.
Through poetry, quotations, and powerful storytelling, this book bypasses the typical psychological stages of grief model.
Instead, it offers a new and compelling exploration of the three spiritual challenges every bereaved person must meet:
Body: Will grief kill me?
Soul: Who am I without my beloved?
Spirit: What is my source of strength?
As Rondi charts her journey to healing over the course of her first year alone, it is a time filled with hope and prophetic dreams, amazing synchronicities, and numerous experiences of contact from her husband. One is via a unique messenger from the natural world, both joyful and so extraordinary, it defines her new path in life for decades to come.
Vital lives are all about action . . . you can’t know serendipity unless you risk.
