Publisher's Description
The inevitability of death in our broken world means that grief and mourning are a normal part of the human experience. Too often, though, this normal journey of grief is cut short by a culture intent on pretending bad things don't really happen. In A Road Too Short for the Long Journey, readers are invited to consider how we might travel this road of mourning with those who grieve and how we might join them as partners in a reorientation of the world experienced through loss.

Reading the real-life stories it contains is a holy exercise, a rare invitation to listen to the voices of those whose lives have been touched indelibly by loss. This volume has enhanced my ministry and enriched my humanity.”
