"Grief is such a messy thing," Roberta Bondi writes in the
introduction. "It fills us with so many ideas and images, memories
and fantasies, celebration and bitter regret all at once, all
superimposed upon one another. No wonder it wears us out."
In this book of poetry and reflections on her mother's death,
Bondi acknowledges her grief in the presence of God over the span
of a few months. She expresses many conflicting feelings love,
pain, anger, guilt, emptiness, confusion, exhaustion, relief that
her mother was no longer suffering. As she celebrates her mothers
life and wrestles with her own sense of loss and longing, she
ponders the mystery of life, death, and Gods presence everyday all
around us in nature as well as in relationships.
Even though we may feel isolated in our grief, we do not grieve
alone, Bondi reminds us. In this firsthand account of her grief,
Bondi offers a gift to all who are grieving.
