Does a good job of explaining the various types of loss (from home to identity to life), and sensitively describes the dilemma faced by anyone caught between fear of loss and fear of not living a full life. What I missed were concrete strategies on how to create meaning after a loss. It's one thing to tell us (repeatedly) that we must somehow make meaning after a loss; it's another to suggest ways how to do so, and I wish Rabbi Wolpe had taken that step.

Some losses are so subtle they go unnoticed, some so overwhelming and cruel they seem unbearable. Coping with grief and experiencing loss overwhelms us in ways that seem both hopeless and endless. In painful moments like these, we must make a choice: Will we allow the difficulties we face to become forces of destruction in our lives, or will we find a way to begin learning from loss, transforming our suffering into a source of strength? A theologian with the heart of a poet, Rabbi David Wolpe explores the meaning of loss, and the way we can use its inevitable appearance in our lives as a source of strength rather than a source of despair. In this national bestseller, Wolpe creates a remarkably fluid account of how we might find a way out of overwhelming feelings of helplessness and instead begin understanding grief in all its forms and learn to create meaning in difficult times.
