This is deeply moving, inspiring memoir, that is carefully and sensitively crafted. I felt as if Becker was speaking directly to me about events in her life that are so personal, yet universal in the collective human experience. The author draws from an eclectic, interesting cast of family, friends and spiritual mentors, freely sharing stories that will resonate and stay with me for many years to come. There is a poignant sweetness drawn from the inevitable passing of those we love that is captured here, not just as a lesson, but as a graceful invitation to examine how it is we greet each day.

""We can do extraordinary things when we lead with love," Barbara Becker reminds us in her debut memoir Heartwood. When her earliest childhood friend is diagnosed with a terminal illness, Becker sets off on a quest to immerse herself in what it means to be mortal. Can we live our lives more fully knowing some day we will die? With a keen eye towards that which makes life worth living, interfaith minister, mom and perpetual seeker Barbara Becker recounts stories where life and death intersect in unexpected ways. She volunteers on a hospice floor, becomes an eager student of the many ways people find meaning at the end of life, and accompanies her parents in their final days. Becker inspires readers to live with the end in mind and proves that turning toward loss rather than away from it is the only true way to live life to its fullest. Just as with the heartwood of a tree-the central core that is no longer alive but is supported by newer growth rings-the dead become the heart of the living. With life-affirming prose, Becker helps us see that that grief is not a problem to be solved, but rather a sacred invitation--an opportunity to let go into something even greater...a love that will inform all the days of our lives"-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
