Yvonne Donohoe Soul Stripped Bare

Annotation

In an era of happiness, lattes and the 'quick fix' Donohoe explores the natural but painful experience of grief. The question on her lips is 'Am I Grieving Normally?' She soon discovers there is nothing normal about profound loss. This beautifully written memoir and grief manual is healing and transformative for anyone experiencing loss. "Grief provided time to heal from the brokenness of loss: my broken heart, my broken spirit, my broken life, my broken future Meet courageous parents who all learnt that love transcends death and that grieving is like breathing - we instinctively know how to do it. "Death stripped my son of his life yet grief provided the opportunity to strip away the protective walls I'd built around mine. Death was the doorway to his new life in spirit and as my precious son moved on, I too, was moving on. My soul had been stripped bare in preparation for my rebirth."
