This is a book to read, and then reread over and over again as one moves through the chapters of life. It is extremely wise, based on first hand experience as well as an enormous amount of research. It is the best book I know for those who wish to make the end of life journey a Christian pilgrimage. --Carol C. Saysette, MDiv and MA, Spiritual Director and Pastoral Counselor Psychologist and theologian Scott Sullender paints a profound picture of both the daunting range of cumulative losses and grief we face in older life, as well as offers us hopeful glimpses of the surprising grace and deepening peace available when we face and even befriend grief. This guidebook is helpful for me in my personal life journey as a healer and spouse/caregiver, and in my clinical work as a psychotherapist and gerontologist. I heartily recommend it to midlife and older individuals, families, physical and mental health professionals and spiritual counselors. --Nancy Rhine, MS, Specialist in issues of midlife and older adults. Continues to be a timely and helpful book. There is an empathetic tone throughout, even though the book is a bold challenge to grieve for the sake of growth and maturity and faithfulness . . . An important book. --Herbert Anderson, PhD, Professor of Pastoral Theology, Catholic Theological Union
