"Through Sharalyn's unflinching honesty, we come to understand that grief is not a dead end, but a radical opening. It strips away illusion, burns through our defences, and delivers us to the edges of everything we thought we knew-about love, life, and death. It leads us into a realm of radical love, radical acceptance, and the most radical truth of all: the possibility of a living relationship with the dead." "Her story is a gift for anyone who has grieved, who has loved and lost. It is a hand held out across the abyss-a quiet, fierce reminder that in the deepest chambers of grief lies a truth: love doesn't die. It transforms. And so can we." - Sarah Tolmie Life & Love Holistic Community Care Celebrant & Sacred Deathcare Practitioner A mother's journey through unbearable loss and grief to finding understanding, forgiveness and transformation. "I didn't know how I was going to survive Ryan's death, or at times even if I wanted to. I didn't think I could do now, let alone tomorrow. Some days just one breath at a time was all I could manage, but I knew that to make sense of it I needed to be changed. I needed my life to be different, somehow, and I needed to open to the possibilities of a new way of being in relationship with him. I needed to understand what happened, why, and how we could both be transformed by his life, and his death. It has been a challenging and often confronting journey, but I am so grateful to Ryan for his teaching and for the amazing gifts that he has given me along the way."
