The book i s a consolation

Advice for dealing with difficult transitions

Consolation: The Spiritual Journey Beyond By Grief by Maurice Lamm (Founder and President of the National Institute for Jewish Hospice and Professor at Yeshiva University's Rabbinical Seminary, New York) teaches the reader how to bring consolation to those struggling with grief and loss. Though intended especially for those of the Jewish faith, the spiritual and healing principles transcend individual religious affiliations. From restoring a fragmented soul to learning how to make one's own future rather than settle for one, Consolation is a powerful compendium of advice for dealing with difficult transitions, and as useful for friends helping friends in need as it is for professional counselors and religious leaders.
