JACK BIELAN’S TREASURED BOOK OF
COMFORT FOR THE BEREAVED HEART
 
ON LOSS
 

A small, elegant gift book to bring a measure of peace and solace  to those who have suffered the loss of a precious loved one.  Jack Bielan's reassuring reminder that, in our lost one's absence, their foremost wish for us is that we make a choice to flourish - to somehow find the faith and
courage to make the remainder of our lives fulfilling and meaningful.

"Is it truly logical to believe that all the goodness, kindness, wisdom and courage; all the unconditional caring, compassion, friendship and love - intrinsic ingredients which comprise the souls of those whom we have held so dear - does it really make sense that such Divinely-created creatures possessing such extraordinary components, would altogether cease to exist - simply because their physical bodies stop functioning?  Call it wishful thinking if you want, but for me: I don't think so."
- from "On Loss"

On Loss

Over the past few years, in my quest for answers
to seemingly unanswerable questions about the
loss of loved ones, I have consulted with a variety
of scholars and major thinkers.

I’ve sought the counsel of learned rabbis, priests,
pastors, a lama and the elders of a Mormon Church.
I’ve spoken with teachers, psychologists, bookstore
owners, street-corner philosophers and Starbucks
malingerers.  I’ve learned from common and
not-so-common people who have somehow found
meaning in the face of tragedy.

After processing all this assorted input, I have come to
formulate my own opinions about some aspects of loss.
Among them is an affirmation that, to some extent:
death is an illusion.
