While I do not generally like this sort of daily inspiration work, I will admit that The Thee Weeks is one of the few times in any religious tradition in which an entire people deliberately descends into a sort of artificial depression long enough to potentially understand what those who are struggling with clinical major depression go through, thus building not only compassion and sympathy but also the empathy to see where that person really is.

She does have good ideas on how to approach death and grieving. I am so grateful that I was given a copy of this by First Reads on Goodreads.com. I will want to go back to it again and again.… (mehr)
