3.0 out of 5 stars Map for a Healing Journey, Nov 22 2005

By Carol Blank - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Healing Takes Time (Paperback)

In his dedication, Gallagher mentions individuals who have lost babies, children, and spouses as well as those who will face any serious loss in the future. Throughout the book's 52 chapters he makes clear that the cause of grief is less an issue here than the journey to healing. Each two-page topic begins with an affirmation and reflection, often based on Gallagher's own experience. For example, the fourth chapter opens with "Today with God's help: I will remember that burden bearing means sharing." The reflection takes us to a hospital room where the author's father is dying. Gallagher is there, accompanied by a friend whose comfort comes in the form of total silence. Sometimes, Gallagher writes, burden bearing is about sharing things other than words."

The remainder of each chapter consists of a scripture passage and questions for meditation, suggested action, a brief prayer, and space for writing a brief journal entry. The author encourages readers to use the book in any way that works, be it weekly, monthly or otherwise; individually, with a friend, or with a group.
