A Long Letting Go: Meditations on Losing Someone You Love (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780802873101)

Wise, nurturing reflections for caregivers letting go of loved ones

This beautiful volume of reflections by Marilyn Chandler McEntyre is for family members and friends who are doing the life-changing work of accompanying someone on the final stretch of his or her journey. In quiet counterpoint to our hurried lives, A Long Letting Go invites caregivers to slow down for reflection and prayer as they prepare to say good-bye to a beloved friend or family member and grieve that loss.

Based on McEntyre's personal and professional experience with the dying, these gentle meditations -- each consisting of a short opening quote, a reflection, and a prayer -- offer comfort, direction, hope, and respite to caregivers during a difficult season of their lives.
