Summary:

Are you ready to discover what lies beyond the ordinary experience of grief? _x000D_ Sacred Grief offers an intriguing exploration of the far-reaching ripple_x000D_ effect of our present-day opinions about surviving grief's emotional_x000D_ roller-coaster and the unnecessary suffering our judgments unconsciously_x000D_ promote. You'll find comfort in discovering that there's another_x000D_ dimension to this universal experience--a dimension that fosters trust,_x000D_ kindness and compassion, peacefully heals, and steadfastly moves you_x000D_ towards your soul's deepest desires and dreams. _x000D_ Praise for Sacred Grief _x000D_ "Because we will all have the experience, Sacred Grief is a compelling_x000D_ guide for everyone searching for the sweetness in life's great passages." _x000D_ --Gregg Braden, author, The Divine Matrix and The God Code _x000D_ "Sacred Grief is a holy handbook for gleaning the gifts of the journey_x000D_ called grief." _x000D_ --Mary Manin Morrissey, Co-founder, Association for Global New Thought _x000D_ "Sacred Grief is a welcome departure from the conventional advice about_x000D_ 'surviving' grief." _x000D_ --Jill Carroll, Ph.D., Executive Director, Boniuk Center for the Study and_x000D_ Advancement of Religious Tolerance, Rice University _x000D_ "I highly recommend this book to anyone that has experienced any type of loss in their lives_x000D_ and is willing to look at the loss through a different set of eyes. Tessman, in Sacred Grief, will_x000D_ lead the reader to a place of compassion for oneself, create a relationship with his/her own grief,_x000D_ and ultimately create a place of understanding and a healed soul." _x000D_ --Irene Watson, Managing Editor, Reader Views _x000D_ Learn more about this book at www.SacredGrief.com _x000D_ Another great self-help book from Loving Healing press www.LovingHealing.com
