Now That You’ve Gone Home
Description
Building on the success of May I Walk You Home? (50,000 copies sold since 1999), this collection of twenty-five stories of loss picks up where the first book left off, helping readers to navigate the bewildering landscape of grief once a loved one has died. Each story by hospice educator Joyce Hutchison is complemented by prayers and meditations composed by Joyce Rupp, best-selling author and spiritual guide. Together, co-authors Rupp and Hutchison address some of the more difficult issues that come with the loss of a loved one, including remarriage and feelings of relief/regret.
