Letters for Grace: One Mother's Journey

by Jane Nicolet

Overview

Letters for Grace charts the journey of a survivor. In letters to son, Matt, and metaphorical friend, Grace, a mother unpacks her deepest wonderings and most difficult questions in a search to round and soften the painful, sharp edges of living in grief. Throughout, there is a longing to experience Rilke's compassionate belief that being patient with one's own questions will eventually lead to unearthing and living into their answers. Through honest and often-difficult conversations, this story provides the shaping of one mother's ten-year journey after Death, disguised as a sad and uncomfortable policewoman, knocked loudly at her front door. Letters for Grace is a walk in bereavement - authentically recounting what the author forced grief to teach her about survival, and what she ultimately discovered her son was sharing about living, loving and forgiving.
