reviewed Letter of Consolation on November 15, 2017 Letter of Consolation
Nouwen's gentle spirit and thoughtful way are a light in darkness in this letter to his father after the death of Henri's mother. Over the period of Holy Week in 1979, he wrote about love and death and grief and hope as he held this saddest of events in his life to the light of Christ.
He wrote about his mother's love for life, for her family and most of all for her God. One of the most profound thoughts in the book was his reflection on fear of death. He said that even Jesus feared death evidenced by his agony in the Garden of Gethsemane and his last words on the cross. Nouwen said God created us for life and it is understandable that we would be reluctant to let go of such a gift.
I think this is a book to return to in times of loss.
