Synopsis
Letting go of what we cherish is one of the hardest things we ever have to do. And that includes letting go of jobs, homes, relationships, good health, illusions, self-importance, and even loved ones. But unless we learn to say goodbye as well as hello, we are crippled by our suffering.
This tender and realistic book can be your personal guide to accepting our inevitable goodbyes even as it reminds us that when we are suffering most deeply, the seed of hope still lives within us. Discover the emotions that goodbyes awaken and turn to the twenty-four specific prayers designed to help you deal with nearly every imaginable kind of loss.
PRAYING OUR GOODBYES should not be kept for special occasions, however, for its poetic wisdom offers the means of enriching every day, of saying hello and goodbye to every precious moment of life.

From AudioFile
Sherry Brownriggs soft, melodious voice and reading style are a good match for this lesson on how to pray our goodbyes when its time to let go. Sometimes a death causes a goodbye, sometimes divorce or other relationship changes, sometimes a decline in health or the loss of our personal illusions of self-importance. Regardless of the reason, change requires letting go of something we cherish. In tones of empathy and sensitivity Brownrigg reads 24 specific prayers intended to help the listener cope with every imaginable kind of loss. Six chapters focus on prayer, grief, and how to say hello again after saying goodbye. The entire presentation is supported by scripture and includes suggestions for further reflection. This is an audiobook to savor. G.D.W. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
