This little book really speaks
to me…and resonates with my experience of the loss of my mom.
–Jody Gittleman

It was easy to read. I could
not put it down. The points
were helpful and re-mindful.
Most of all, it validated my feelings.
This book is liberating.

We have all heard the phrase by Dale Carnegie, “If fate hands you lemons, make lemonade.” Facing a difficult situation, many of us tend to add sugar and make that old-fashioned, sweet beverage: lemonade. We may have a tendency to deny the event has happened or shove the experience deep inside. Our culture encourages us to “buck up” or be strong. But is it easier in the long run to give a negative experience a positive label?

What if we were simply honest and direct? If life hands us lemons, why not make a conscious decision to observe them, experience them and maybe learn from them?

For over half a century my life felt safe, sane and predictable. Suddenly I was faced with a multitude of losses in a short period of time. Instead of ignoring my emotions, I dug in. I leaned into reality. Here is what I found.

Follow this woman’s journey through loss, grief and transition to its unexpected conclusions. This small but might memoir with its practical
twist gets right to the bottom line. It is written by someone like you,
a fellow sojourner, navigating through life’s mysteries.

“The deeper we allow ourselves to feel grief and pain,
the greater our capacity to experience
contentment and joy.”
