   Opening to Dying and Grieving:
                   A Sacred Journey

This book is not about the why or the what of death and grief. It is about the how. How to be with and use the pain of loss in order to gain a deeper understanding of what lies beyond this realm of reality. Opening to Dying and Grieving offers exercises and tools to encourage as well as enhance the process. The reader will learn that death is not a period, but rather a comma in our journey through life. It is a key to discovering the sacred treasure that lies within.

Editorial Reviews

"One has the advantage of listening to two voices, two experienced individuals who have spent years exploring dying with people faced by this intimate, ultimate stage of life. If one is confronted by the necessity to embrace the reality of death, this book will be a significantly helpful resource."
--Rt. Rev. William Swing; Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of California

"Bereaved persons and those who serve them will welcome the insights offered in Opening to Dying and Grieving. The wisdom gleaned is offered in a way that supports growth through the pain of loss and meaning in the midst of despair."
 --William M. Lamers, Jr., M.D. -Medical Consultant - Hospice Foundation of America

"I have not as yet lost someone intimately significant to me, but I am already comforted that this book will be waiting for me when I do. The authors take someone grieving through the experience and out to the other side, into the light." --Sr. Rebecca Shinas, O.P. - Dominican Sisters of Mission San Jose

"Compelling!"
