Synopsis

When grief is the form your love takes, where do you turn? Do you escape, or enter, the loneliness, the emptiness, the pain? How much, how slowly, how fast? It's a blessing when someone can help you feel your own way through what only your heart can process. That blessing is what Paul Bennett somehow manages to pass along with Loving Grief-shining a new light into the fundamental nature of grief.

About this title

About the Author:

For 35 years, Paul Bennett wrote as a voice for movements that shaped American society, drawing millions of members and hundreds of millions of dollars into public-interest organizations and helping to elect senators, members of Congress, and governors.     After the death of his wife, Bonnie, Paul turned to exploration of the fundamental human experience of love and relationship. Loving Grief was his response to requests from friends that he capture his conversations and insights about his own experience of loss and love, and the fundamental nature of grieving.     Today he is a speaker and workshop leader, exploring the joys, mysteries and innate design of relationships. He is a principal in Relationship By Design, presenting workshops in the US and abroad, and has served as a board member of Couples Coaching Couples, Washington Quaker Workcamps, and the Shalom Mountain Retreat Center.

Review:

"This is a wonderful book. It broke my hear. It healed my heart. A fine contribution to the shared heart of our grief.... There is so much love in this book it is not surprising that it increases, then overcomes, gravity."    -- Stephen Levine, author of Who Dies?, A Year to Live, Breaking the Drought
"Raw, complete, and ultimately successful."   -- AARP
"I loved reading this book. It was a heartfelt activity throughout. I experienced such deeply soothing resonance in walking Paul's path with him.... My resonance with him was so complete that ... I was feeling the accumulated sadness of the losses in all the love I have known. It was all gently comforting."    -- Allan Schnarr, M.Div., PhD. feelingeverything.com.
