AN INSPIRING AND MOVING BOOK TO REVISIT AGAIN AND AGAIN To become strong and whole following a serious loss,Cheryl Lafferty Eckl says we are called to "love our way through to grief's natural conclusion." In this collection of her "soul space" writings, she shares her poignant sorrow from the death of her, while revealing deep insights of self-compassion, strength, and hope. As her thoughts unfold, you will feel Cheryl encouraging you to nurture your own insights, open your broken heart to the possibility of joy, even entertain fresh adventure as you journey through your own process of grief. The path to healing need not be lonely in the presence of such a companion.
Industry Reviews
A lovely book that will both nurture and inspire those experiencing the loss of a loved one, but it would also appeal to anyone, as everyone knows someone experiencing grief....It’s an ideal format in that someone can pick it up and read one or two chapters relevant to their own process and go back again and again for reinforcement or to find sections that relate to where they are in the process. I’d definitely give this to anyone I knew who was in a period of grief. —Judge Comments, awarding First Prize in Writer's Digest 20th annual book awards.
Empathic and compassionate, A Beautiful Grief is highly recommended. —The Midwest Review
These 24 highly readable chapters offer hope and direction for grieving people and inspiration for the professionals and volunteers who care for grieving people.... [Ms. Eckl's] writing paints colorfully on the canvas of a bereaved heart, creatively addressing the questions with which grieving people struggle but about which they are often afraid to speak. —William G. Hoy, Ph.D., Assoc. of Death Education and Counseling (ADEC)
