Description
Dealing with Grief and Loss?
Seasons of Solace could be a quick read, but it is a book people find themselves settling into as honest questions and the raw emotions of mourning take them to deep places where they are surprised by peace.
In shock after her husband was killed by a drunk driver while living in Thailand, Janelle Shantz Hertzler began searching for a way through the pain. Her struggle to make sense of her loss and find peace resulted in this moving collection. Told through heart-felt grief poetry and inspiring photography, Seasons of Solace expresses the spiritual journey of a grieving woman moving toward acceptance.
While this isn't your typical grief recovery workbook, Hertzler's grief poems and photographs reflect the universal experience of losing a loved one. Within the narrative lie broader truths of life, death and dying, love and sorrow, allowing each reader to find his or her own story in its pages.
Free Bonus:
Included in the Kindle version is a link to video where you can hear the author read the entire book while viewing photos from the book.
"I loved the bonus video. I would have paid the full price just for that! I found it so calming and meditative. The images were transformational for me." - Elle Bieling, nurse and health practitioner
