<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Now available in paperback is Nancy Cobb's heartfelt and deeply inspirational exploration of her experience of loss after her father committed suicide, her mother succumbed to Alzheimer's disease, and a close friend died of cancer.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>"Grieving is as natural as breathing, for if we have lived and loved, surely we will grieve. . . ." <p/>Nancy Cobb meets death in the most vital of places-in the lives of everyday people-and in doing so has found a way to infuse this darkest subject with light. Her candor and refreshing perspective make the deaths of those she has loved-and death itself-a subject to explore rather than to avoid. <p/>Cobb's personal experiences become a point of departure for what amounts to a longer conversation about loss. In telling stories about encounters with grief, Cobb opens us up to our own experiences, and she encourages us to accept and honor the "divine intersections" where the living meet the dying.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"An elegant book . . . that lets readers know they aren't alone."<br> -Wall Street Journal <p/>"Mesmerizing. Cobb is down to earth, funny, disturbingly direct."<br>-Detroit Free Press <p/>"An eloquent book. Cobb's harrowing insistence that death be confronted without the veil of denial is made possible, and even more starkly compelling, by the grace and wit of her writing." <br>-Kay Redfield Jamison, author of <i>An Unquiet Mind </i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Nancy Cobb grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She divides her time between Connecticut and New York City.
