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.
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…

I wish we would've had this book in the months after my dad died. It would've helped the whole family to remember so many things we didn't want to ever forget.

I give you this one thought to keep-
I am with you still, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone-
I am with you still—in each new dawn.
