Product details
"Bereavement is a universal and integral part of our experience
of love," wrote C.S. Lewis. He was describing a paradox intrinsic
to love, our most sacred and productive emotion.
It is a paradox our family is living through now due to the
recent and abrupt death of our fourth child, Peter, in a
rock-climbing accident. We deeply loved Peter, who was a teenager
full of vitality, humour, faith and adventure, with a reputation
for making connections wherever he went.
Although we feel outraged that earthly life inevitable goes on
without Peter, we feel comfort and relief that his life still
evokes responses like Alexander's. Alexander carefully considered
his own grief and his love for our family increating Prayer
for a Lost Friend.
Above all, we deeply yearn for life, love and music to go on in
their finest forms and to transcend the grave into eternity - a
hope that has inspired artists since the beginning of time.
