Presentation
How the soul grows through loss
In an instant, a tragic traffic accident takes the lives of three generations of women: a mother, a wife and a daughter. Although most of us will not experience a similar loss in our lifetime, we will all inevitably experience grief and death at some point in our lives. In telling his story, Jerry Sittser reminds us that it is not the experience of grief that is crucial in our life, but rather how we respond to grief. This reaction will affect the quality, direction and scope of our life.
