Loving Grief

For thirty-five years, Paul Bennett has written as an anonymous voice for mover and shaker organisations such as EMILY’s LIST, World Wildlife Fund, Common Cause, and the Wildness Society, building their memberships and helping to elect senators, congresswomen, and governors. When his wife Bonnie died, Paul lost the one person whose presence had been pivotal to every decision he made about the future. He discovered that the intensity of his grief matched the depth of his love and learned how to go where it took him, through the depths of loss and into new life he couldn’t have imagined. When grief is the form your love takes, where do you turn? Do you escape, or enter, the loneliness, the emptiness, the pain? How much, how slowly, how fast? It’s a blessing when someone can help you feel your own way through what only your heart can process. That blessing is what Paul Bennett somehow manages to pass along with Loving Grief – shining a new light into the fundamental nature of grief.
