Through story and poems, Carolyn Cushing shares how she learned to gather gifts from both the natural world and spiritual realm, plan a meaningful ritual, and use the occasion of the anniversary of a death as an opportunity to journey with—rather than away from—one who has died. Cushing’s realizations give way to wonder and gently awaken us to the idea that such mysterious accompaniment is possible for everybody. At the end, she teaches readers how to make an Eternity Box to hold special objects associated with our Beloved Dead.
