"A Sorrow Shared" by Henri Nouwen

[Fantine]

A friend gave me this book when my father died last month. It is a combination of two previous short books--"In Memoriam," written right after his mother's death, and "A Letter of Consolation," written to his father six months later.

I didn't start reading the book until tonight--116 pages of heart wisdom that made me cry, grieve, ponder, reflect, pray, and reach a deeper understanding of this final journey that I was privileged to accompany my father on.

A book of comfort and consolation. I just purchased 4 more copies to give to friends who have suffered losses.

I've heard Nouwen was a very warm, personal writer. I'm glad his writing was helpful to you.
