Produktbeschreibung

Poems of Mourning and Healing Memory is a book that tells of the author's coming to terms with the death of his parents. The book begins with the author's father--and the author himself--dealing with the death of wife and mother. It continues with the author's powerful encounter with his dying father, then proceeds with poems mourning his father's death and its aftermath. The second half of the book contains poems which remember and honor significant people and experiences in the author's life. As a pastoral psychotherapist, the author finds the Bible and spirituality to be major healing resources, along with memories of some key people he writes about who have helped him grow and heal in his life. What happens in writing is a mysterious and awesome thing, and the very process of remembering and writing these poems has helped the author mourn and find some healing. Perhaps these poems will trigger your own memories; resonate with various layers of your experiences; help you move through your own grief; and perhaps encourage you to do some writing of your own!
