Heartbreak to Hope

Book excerpt: Kara Bowman's Heartbreak to Hope is a wonderfully sensitive and poetic accompaniment as we journey through grief. It captures so much of the darkness and difficulty of that journey while holding out hope that through those difficulties one can still get to a sense of peace--even growth. I wish every individual struggling with grief could have a copy! --Kenneth J Doka, PhD, Author, Grief is a Journey, When We Die: Extraordinary Experiences at Life's End.
