Summary: A graceful meditation on losing a loved one
Review: To read this book is to be soothed by words and images that waft across the pages like a soft, summer breeze. The gently rendered watercolor illustrations calm the eyes and the poetic text eases the brain. With this meditation on grieving the loss of a loved one, author KD Larson explores how such a loss affects a person, to the extreme of changing their outlook on life and confusing their very identity. She explores unanswered questions about the afterlife, inspired by some the writings of Albert Einstein, explaining the power of love to heal and how it endures - even after we've left our physical bodies. Larson gives much credence to the comfort of nature and its healing powers: how the weather and the changing of the seasons heightens our senses; the majesty of the sun, the moon and the heavens; how we can lose our cares in the flowing water of a stream. Yes, nature's beauty is a good place to seek solace and to explore feelings about death and the Great Beyond. This book captures that notion with elegant grace, and leaves the reader renewed and inspired.
