"A natural eloquence marks these real letters of a young mother to her child--her child in her womb . . . and her child dead. She is never sentimental but touchingly sincere in her joy and in her sadness--and both under God"--Sheldon Vanauken, author of "A Severe Mercy."
More a diary than a manual on handling grief, D'Arcy's collection of letters written before and after the loss of her daughter reflects upon her search for strength and hope through years of anguish. With a combination of profound reflection and sincere stories, these letters express how the deepest sorrow can be transformed into a unique sense of comfort and peace. Filled with practical yet literary writing, this collection reveals the discovery of healing is available to anyone enduring the sorrow of a lost loved one. Written in a tender, personal tone and drawing from direct experience, it is an ideal choice for both mourners and counselors alike.
