A testament to the strength of love, Grief is a compassionate guide during difficult times. Here, Swamini Sri Lalitambika Devi shares an intimate portrait of life and mind, as she cared for a loved one who was dying. The journal she kept during this time explores the natural feelings of sorrow that arise, as well as ways to find meaning and stay centered in faith, when someone we love is at the end of life. The book shares insights on making difficult treatment decisions, staying present with suffering, and deciding what to do when there is nothing more that can be done. As this death called into question the purpose of her life, she also contemplates spirituality in the midst of daily living, and how the ordinary being awakens. The teachings offered are profound, moving, and courageous. Swaminiji offers this journey as shared experience to support patients, families, and caretakers during times of loss. In her strength and steadfast wisdom, she brings forth glimpses of the infinite.
