"May no misguided soul be blind enough to tell you that they understand what you're going through."
Finding words that heal in times of pain is difficult. This collection of blessings started as a series of emails between two friends working through darkness and suffering. These blessings, not connected to any religion, focus on empathy, strength as time passes, the greater human experience, and a growing compassion for all those who suffer. Each copy is handbound by Kristen Grace. |
