A Joyful Season of Sorrow is a memoir depicting a brief period in the author's life during which she was the primary caregiver for her mother, Jerry, and her sister, Sandy. During the holiday season of 2011 (between Thanksgiving Day, 2011 and New Year's Day, 2012), Jerry and Sandy both became seriously ill, were diagnosed with terminal cancer, became Hospice patients, and then died. This book depicts the story of the author's experiences throughout this time.
It details how the author (along with her loved ones) used New Thought spiritual tools to create a season of joy, love, and peace amidst this season of fear, loss, pain, and grief. The book includes an analysis of how the author applied Unity's Five Principles throughout this deeply sad and, at the same time, joyful, spiritual time. It's an affirmative story of faith, strength, and most of all the power and resilience of love that never ends.
