the book is intended to show how it is possible to live in and be enlarged by loss, even as we continue to experience it.
The good that may come out of the loss does not erase its badness or excuse the wrong done. Nothing can do that.
It is how we respond to loss that matters. That response will largely determine the quality, the direction, and the impact of our lives.
I had no way of anticipating the adjustments I would have to make and the suffering I would have to endure in the months and years ahead.
