"I’m deeply in grief over the sudden and unexpected death of my baby sister in December, 2025. I’m finding this book to be helpful. I borrowed from the library but may buy it in order to highlight and return to it as I travel this awful journey." — Jul 15, 2026 06:30PM

“Ah. I smiled. I'm not really here to keep you from freaking out. I'm here to be with you while you freak out, or grieve or laugh or suffer or sing. It is a ministry of presence. It is showing up with a loving heart.”

“Then light your candles to the living. Say your prayers for the living. Leave the stones where they are, but take your heart with you. Your heart is not a stone. True love demands that, like a bride with her bouquet, you toss your fragile glass heart into the waiting crowd of living hands and trust that they will catch it.”
