Jewish Lights Publishing Losses of Our Lives: The Sacred Gifts of Renewal in Everyday Loss
Going beyond loss as a problem to be resolved, a grief to be worked through, Dr. Nancy Copeland-Payton, a spiritual director and ordained clergywoman, reframes loss from the perspective that our everyday losses help us learn what we need to handle the major losses. Weaving in spiritual and classical themes, personal and scriptural story, Dr. Copeland-Payton shows us that by becoming aware of what our lesser losses have to teach us, the larger losses of our lives become less terrifying. Each chapter includes a spiritual practice and questions for reflection to help you: · Mine the hidden depths of painful losses of things and places. · Traverse the devastating loss of relationships and the heart-wrenching death of people we love. · Overcome the steep, dark slopes of loss of beliefs and faith. · Venture past our fear of the losses of aging and our own death.

"Reunions with people, places, things and ourselves happen every day around us and within us. Whether to participate or not will always be your choice." -from the Introduction In this book the author explores humankind's timeless, universal and deeply spiritual desire to reunite for the sake of healing and wholeness. Whether we wander far from home or reminisce from our favourite armchair, people of all faiths or none whatsoever undertake journeys to remember, restore and re-member the missing pieces of our stories, psyches and souls: · Do you occasionally Google a person from your past in hopes of "catching up"? · Do you leaf through old address books to try to call someone for the first time in decades? · When you visit gravesites or memorials, can you pinpoint what drew you there? · Have you felt an urge to revisit your birthplace or travel to your ancestors' homelands? · Do you feel compelled to attend an upcoming school, family or other reunion? If not, why not? Delve deeply into ways that your body, mind and spirit answer the Spirit of Re-union's calls to reconnect with people, places, things and self.
