The Circle of Life - A Journey Through Grief to Understanding

The Circle of Life-A Journey through Grief to Understanding, takes the reader on a journey on several levels. First, it is the story of man s life, death and continuation past death. Joanne s message is that this life is not the end; it does repeat. There is more. From the standpoint of losing a loved one, knowing there is a Circle of Life gives some comfort. This knowledge provides the grieving person with more to hold on to if they believe the soul of their departed lives on in another form that is no longer visible. Second, it is a personal account of a family's experience with the death of a loving husband and father and how communication with him extended beyond the veil of death. Taking the reader from Baltimore to the Baltics and back to Palm Springs, CA, this memorable story tells of a love that extends beyond life, of care-giving and the ravages of Alzheimer's Disease, and of a widow putting her life back together after the only man she ever loved was gone. Joanne presents a spiritual perspective on death and dying and ties practical examples of coping with loss through her mother's journey through grief to understanding that there was more to live for. This inspirational memoir is a welcome addition to any grief support library.
