The Cure for Sorrow by Jan Richardson
When Jan Richardson unexpectedly lost her husband and creative partner, the singer/songwriter Garrison Doles, she did what she had long known how to do: she wrote blessings.These were no sugar-coated blessings. They minimized none of the pain and bewilderment that came in the wake of a wrenching death. With these blessings, Jan entered, instead, into the depths of the shock, anger, and sorrow. From those depths, she has brought forth words that, with heartbreaking honesty, offer surprising comfort and stunning grace.Those who know loss will find kinship among these pages. In these blessings that move through the anguish of rending into the unexpected shelters of solace and hope, there shimmers a light that helps us see we do not walk alone.From her own path of grief, Jan offers a luminous, unforgettable gift that invites us to know the tenacity of hope and to recognize the presence of love that, as she writes, is "sorrow's most lasting cure."Jan Richardson, Ph.D., is the bestselling author of The Next Step Forward in Guided Reading, an educational consultant, and a leading specialist in guided reading, with experience as a Reading Recovery(R) teacher leader, staff developer, and a K-12 teacher. She is the author of a number of literacy professional resource guides and novels for teachers, including Word Solvers: Making Sense of Letters and Sound, as well as a number of children's books, including Bella and Rosie, Jasper the Cat, and Spaceboy stories, all published by Pioneer Valley Books.
