Synopsis:
Coming to terms with the loss of a loved one is a major life challenge. The author is a long-time student of the Nyingma Lama Tarthang Tulku and in this book he reveals how the grief over the loss of his mother to Alzheimer's deepened his ability to apply the Buddhist teachings in his own life. Grounding his narrative in a larger framework of Buddhist teachings on impermanence, suffering and the development of wisdom and compassion, he leads us through the turbulent emotions of dealing with feelings of helplessness, guilt, anger, confusion, despair, and fear.
It is never too late to heal the past. We can own and transform even the most difficult life situations, including death and our own seemingly fatal mistakes. The wisdom of the Buddhist teachings helps us to strengthen awareness and develop our inner resources. Maitland encourages readers to reflect on their own lives and learn to face challenges as they arise.
