Synopsis
With wisdom born from her bumps and bruises, Helen Lambin knows what it means to "start slowly and increase the range" when it comes to grief and trandition. And she knows what it means to live life to the fullest, wherever we may be in grief and transition. If you don't know Helen personally when you open this book, you will soon feel that you and she are the kind of friends who can share fears, failings, faith, dreams, and an ordinary grace-filled life.
