Find hope and renewal in life's natural cycle of ordinary losses
and new beginnings.
"When we intentionally enter into our everyday walk through
small losses, the terrain of larger losses, the valley of the
shadow of death, is not totally unknown. It is not completely
unfamiliar, alien, terrifying, for we have walked some of this way
before with our lesser losses. We can journey through this valley
of loss, for journey through it we must. And we can emerge markedly
changed, but alive, on the other side." from the Prologue
Going beyond loss as a problem to be resolved, a grief to be
worked through, Dr. Nancy Copeland-Payton, a spiritual director and
ordained clergywoman, reframes loss from the perspective that our
everyday losses help us learn what we need to handle the major
losses. Weaving in spiritual and classical themes, personal and
scriptural story, Dr. Copeland-Payton shows us that by becoming
aware of what our lesser losses have to teach us, the larger losses
of our lives become less terrifying. Each chapter includes a
spiritual practice and questions for reflection to help you: Mine
the hidden depths of painful losses of things and placesTraverse
the devastating loss of relationships and the heart-wrenching death
of people we love.Overcome the steep, dark slopes of loss of
beliefs and faith.Venture past our fear of the losses of aging and
our own death."
