We cannot do away with death, for it is a part of life. We cannot bring our departed loved ones back. But we can find ways to weave their stories, wisdom, and love into the tapestry of our lives. Once we have come to terms with death, then the deep and lasting impressions our loved ones have left upon us can help us lead healthier, happier, and more fulfilled lives. We carry the memory of our loved ones within us. These memories can glow like a flame that lights our way through the darkness. The beloved that have gone before us would want to us to live and love fully. This book is about finding ways to rekindle the love and light they gave us so that we might have brighter lives.About the Author: Bridget Carley earned her Bachelor's degree in Sociology from Merrimack College.
