Summary:
"Most people understand that suffering and sorrow -- whether illness,
the death of a loved one, or the loss of a job -- are inevitable
parts of every life. By telling the stories of people who have
endured trials and consequently found deeper spiritual and
psychological meaning in their lives, After the Darkest Hour
illustrates the universality of suffering, the special bonds we share
with others who suffer or have suffered, and the opportunities it
provides for redemption. Drawing on a rich selection of mythological
and religious stories from many faiths, psychologist Kathleen Brehony
provides a historical and cultural context that enriches the meaning
of these deeply personal tales and also offers practical advice,
strategies, and exercises that help us approach the difficult
situations we face in a more conscious, enlightened way. After the
Darkest Hour will help you find the blessings and challenges brought
by suffering, and meet even the darkest moments of your life with
both courage and wisdom. Book jacket."--BOOK JACKET.
