In late February 2007, Leah Fishbane's life was flourishing. A
promising young graduate student in Jewish history, she was an
adoring mother to her nearly four-year-old daughter and two months
into a new pregnancy. In an instant, all this was gone: Leah was
struck down suddenly with a previously undiagnosed brain tumor--her
life ended, her family in despair. In this deeply evocative memoir,
written during the dark time of the first year following Leah's
death, her husband Eitan gives voice to the overwhelming nature of
mourning, and to the uplifting power of memory. He tells the story
of his efforts to be a good father to his grieving child and of his
self-discovery as a parent in ways he had not known before. Along
this path, Fishbane asks fundamental questions about the meaning of
death and life, about the place of God and faith in the experience
of tragedy, about what it means to live with loss. The result is a
poetic testament that will resonate with anyone who has known the
depths of grief, anyone who seeks to console a loved one in pain.
In giving honest expression to emotions that are at once particular
and universal, Shadows in Winter offers a luminous window of
comfort and hope to those battling the devastation of loss.
