Transfiguring Loss

Maynard explores the contributions that 15th century Julian of Norwich's (who lost her own family to the Plague) theology and spirituality may offer to survivors of traumatic loss--the losses suffered by survivors of September 11 and the Tsunami as well as those who have lost a loved one to AIDS. Reading Julian's work taught Maynard that a transcendent experience of love offers hope in the midst of loss, and she shares that inspiration in this resource.
