Memories of You: A Healing Journey Through the Garden of Grief is a gentle guide that helps transform grief into sustained memories which will become an enduring family heirloom for those who have suffered the death of a loved one. The book evolves around the power of words to transform human experience. Grief therapists and theorists generally agree that writing is an effective means to overcome and transform life traumas, that releasing these stories/memories is healthy and life-affirming, and that increased physical and emotional well-being results from writing out memories.
By creating thoughtful responses to meaningful questions about the deceased, readers are drawn into the healing value of this book. With each entry, the authors encourage reflections about life, loss and healing that transform grief into enduring memories and a treasured family heirloom. With the addition of legal information, readers will experience the relief of understanding where to turn and how to be sustained during the grieving process.
What sets this book apart from all other self-help books on grief? Readers are encouraged to write, and then write even more, exploring from many perspectives the joys, regrets and deeply heartfelt memories of the one who has died. With journal entries and responses to poignant questions about the beloved family member or friend, precious reminders to help us recall the past and cherish our memories into the future are created. The information found in this book’s appendices add to the sense of acceptance and control over the process of moving forward. All of this combines to create a climate of healing, acceptance and serenity. Thanks to the support and guidance found in this book, the grief felt by the bereaved is transformed into acceptance and serenity, and as the writing process moves forward, those who grieve become the biographers of their loved ones.
Writing about him, about our life and finally, about his death literally saved me...Eventually I was able to let him rest and begin living again……
