Grief can be profoundly disorienting and traumatic. Yet it can also open our hearts and strengthen our empathy, affection, and compassion for others. In this searing memoir, author Bryan Welch movingly recounts his own journey through deep grief at the devastating loss of his 25-year-old son to addiction. The book explores how our own vulnerability can help us heal the traumas that separate us from one another, and may even lead us toward a more loving, compassionate, and less divisive world.
