Grief as a Spiritual Practice: A Journey Through Love, Death, Grief, and Life - Hardcover

by Cathérine Denys (Author)

What happens when the love of your life dies after a quarter of a century of an ever-growing, ever-expanding, ever-changing life together? Instead of plunging into the big black hole everybody talks about, Cathérine Denys experienced something totally unexpected that showed her how to live with the grief. Cathérine, whose greatest desire has been to live the most conscious life possible, shares that principle in an inspiring teaching memoir. After revealing how she nearly bypassed the encounter that turned her life around, she shares insight into the unfolding of a relationship as she traveled between Antwerp and Amsterdam, experienced life in a kundalini yoga ashram, and finally moved to Texas. When her husband was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer that eventually took his life, Cathérine details how she navigated amid her grief and used it as the perfect circumstance to take the next step for personal growth and change, while at the same time actualizing a joyful existence. Included are exercises and tools to help others handle their own story of loss and mourning. In this poignant narrative, a woman explores a conscious way of grieving the death of a loved one while sharing wisdom and practical tips to help anyone on the same journey.
