Revised and expanded 2012 edition. The Strayaway Child is both a personal story of the experience of grief following the death of a child, as well as a manual to learn how to live again after such a devastating loss. Integrating Eastern and Western spiritual disciplines, the author moves seamlessly back and forth between the present and the past, between the inner realm of dreams and the awareness of greater spiritual dimensions. Both honest and moving, this autobiographical account of grief and transcendence offers hope to those who suffer the pain of profound loss.
