Review # 2 was written on 2018-09-02 00:00:00 Kimberly Samuelson Nouwen has introduced me, in this book, to new ways of thinking about the death of my loved ones as well as my own death. In particular, he stresses how our deaths become the event which can bring renewed hope to others as our life and love continue to bear fruit in their lives long after we are gone. Indeed, for many of us, what we will ''accomplish'' will take place after our deaths as the seeds of mercy we sowed while alive bear fruit in the lives of those we leave behind.
