Grief: The Quest You Never Chose.

"Grief is too big a word — a one-word vocabulary for the most particular experience of a life. This is not a book about getting over it. It is a book about becoming — chamber by chamber, layer by layer, magnificent."

— from the Prologue

You did not choose this book the way you choose most books.

Drawing on more than a decade of grief circles, the newest science of the grieving brain, and the oldest promises of Scripture, Linda Dyson replaces recovery and closure with a truer language for grief — weathering the if-only loop, meeting the Advocate who has walked beside you unrecognized, and finding the sacred assignment waiting on the other side of the void. Her daughter and co-author, Tiffany Dyson, brings her own testimony — losing and regaining the use of her own body, more than once, with a purpose the loss alone could never have handed her.
