Are you seeking comfort in a time of sorrow?
Are you seeking solace for a friend or relative who recently lost someone dear?
Breaking the silence that surrounds a parents’ loss of a child, Edie Hartshorne’s 2008 memoir, Light in Blue Shadows, is an illuminating and honest reflection on death and the human capacity for healing. In a series of finely rendered vignettes, Hartshorne unfolds the emotional and spiritual odyssey following the unexpected death of her 20 year-old son. “I began writing as a means of survival…” she recounts, “and gradually discovered that the moments I illuminated for myself were useful for others.”
Winner of three national book awards (Indie Excellence®, IPPY and Nautalis), the memoir invites us to come to greater peace with loss in our own lives, and experience our personal pain as a way of participating more fully in the healing of our world. For those who have lost a loved one, this book will be of great comfort; for those who have not, the writing offers a reminder of the fragile beauty of our lives. The book is available on Amazon.com and in bookstores around the world.
"I know now that suffering can transform into light, shining through
blue shadows at dawn, that love is more enduring than death."
Edie Hartshorne
