Reviews

C.G. Jung characterized his psychology as an attempt, "ever renewed, to give an answer to the question of the interplay between 'here' and 'hereafter'." Inspired by her own bereavement, Susan Olson soulfully engages this same interplay. Grappling now with the starkness of loss, now with the richness of death, she gives her answer to the "here" and "hereafter" question. A book of love and mystery. Highly recommended!--Greg Mogenson Jungian analyst, teacher, and author of "Greeting the Angels: Angels: An Imaginal View of the Mourning Process"
