Winter of the Heart by Paul D'arcy

Winter of the Heart by Paul D'arcy

"If you're heavy of heart from loss, you need this book. Winter of the Heart is a GPS that can guide you along some pretty dark roads." --Ronald Rolheiser, Author of Sacred Fire

We can't really prepare for grief. The only experts on grief are those who have survived it and then helped others do the same.

Retreat leader, former psychotherapist, and bestselling author Paula D'Arcy is one of those experts. In Winter of the Heart, she shares her life's work, accompanying you through seasons of grief and the emotions that come with the loss of a loved one or after other major changes in life.

Winter of the Heart is a companion for anyone early in grieving process--for the person experiencing shock, emotional pain, an inability to move, guilt, intense anger, and a range of other emotions that might be new to you.

D'Arcy lost her young husband and toddler in a violent car accident more than four decades ago. She understands your grief and can also help you look to what's on the other side--hope, acceptance, recognition that what you are experiencing is both common and unique, and the essential counsel that you need not ever "get over it."

Winter of the Heart is for those who mourn the death of a loved one, but it is also for counselors and pastoral ministers. You'll find D'Arcy's words relevant for other occasions when mourning can be painful, including the end of a marriage, job loss, and other major life changes.

Paula D'Arcy, a writer, retreat leader, and conference and seminar speaker, travels widely in the United States, Canada, and abroad. She is also president of Red Bird Foundation, which supports the growth and spiritual development of those in need as well as those invested in the opening of the heart and the healing of this world. Her work includes leading workshops and retreats related to spirituality, writing, women's gatherings, (including women's initiation and rites of passage), and creating venues where men and women experience an opening of the heart and a change in their way of being in the world. In recent years she has teamed with Richard Rohr to present seminars on the male/female journey and spirituality for the two halves of life. Paula also serves as adjunct faculty at Oblate School of Theology and Seton Cove Spirituality Center, both in Texas.
