Based on the author's previous guides to a 10-touchstone method of
grief therapy, this book takes an inspirational
approach to the material, presenting the idea of wilderness
as a sustained metaphor for grief—and likening the
death of a loved one to the experience of being wrenched from
normal life and dropped down in the middle of nowhere.
Feeling lost and afraid in this uncharted territory,
people are initially overwhelmed, the book
explains, but they begin to make their way through the new
landscape by searching for trail markers—or touchstones—until
they emerge as intrepid travelers climbing up out of
despair. The touchstones for each step are
described in short chapters such as "Embrace the
Uniqueness of Your Loss," "Recognize You Are Not Crazy," and
"Appreciate Your Transformation."
