Turning the Corner on Grief Street introduces a brave new world in which grief can be viewed as a gift as well as a tragedy. In this world, death is not the enemy, and grief does not have to be paralyzing.

The remarkable teachings found here assume that we are ready to accept death and grief as not only necessary for spiritual growth, but also as a sacred experience that can elevate our perspectives and expand us rather than annihilate us.
