Making Loss Matter

Some losses are so subtle they go unnoticed some so overwhelming and cruel they seem unbearable. Coping with grief and experiencing lossoverwhelms us in ways that seemboth hopeless and endless.In painful moments like these we must make a choice: Will we allow the difficulties we face to become forces of destruction in our lives or will we find a way to begin learning from losstransforming our suffering into a source of strength?A theologian with the heart of a poet Rabbi David Wolpe explores the meaning of loss and the way we can use its inevitable appearance in our lives as a source of strength rather than a source of despair. In this national bestseller Wolpe creates a remarkably fluid account of how we might find a way out of overwhelming feelings of helplessness and instead begin understanding grief in all its forms and learn tocreate meaning in difficult times.
