Book Synopsis

Jewish tradition encourages study as a way of honoring the memory of those who are no longer among us. Grief in Our Seasons offers a comforting link between study and the tradition of saying Kaddish, helping those who are mourning to heal at their own pace and to cherish the memory of their loved ones each and every day.

Each section of Grief in Our Seasons is devoted to a stage of mourning, providing brief daily readings from sacred Jewish texts and words of inspiration, comfort, and understanding. "Meditations before Saying Kaddish" share the nsights of others who have faced the challenges of mourning, and tell how they found solace during the process.

A compassionate source of strength and inspiration, Grief in Our Seasons is a guide to healing and remembrance through Jewish tradition.
"A valuable resource affirming the healing power of study, prayer, and memory in Jewish tradition."
-Rabbi Sally J. Priesand, Monmouth Reform Temple

"A meaningful guide for those seeking comfort and spiritual sustenance during the difficult days following a loss. An indispensable manual for mourners."
-Dr. Ron Wolfson, author, A Time to Mourn, A Time to Comfort

"Remarkable . . . a hopeful, compassionate guide along the journey from grief to rebirth, from mourning to a new morning."
-Rabbi Levi Meier, Ph.D., (Orthodox) Chaplain, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles; author, Ancient Secrets
