Grief is a Camino like no other. It’s a pilgrimage to acceptance. Sometimes it’s solitary and sometimes there are companions. And sometimes we need another, who has experience of the way, to point us along a path that is kind. May it light parts of your way.

Ailsa PiperAustralian Author of Sinning Across Spain, Co-Author of The Attachment.

Grief a Pilgrimage reflects for me a spiritual journey. Linda’s spirituality can best be described as being fully present with what is. The connectedness with her sister, and those around her is very uplifting. It gives a sense of transcendence, even in the deepest anxiety and grief. The book is a beautiful and rich integration of not only her personal experience, but Linda’s professional background and artistic poetic and photographic expression of what it means to love, and lose. Grief a Pilgrimage reflect the power and value of journaling, the same way Merton’s personal accounts do. The book is consoling. It shines a new light on my own grief pilgrimages and cracked my rock.

In this wonderfully illuminating book, Linda Espie explores all the nuances and shapes of grief, from an unwelcome weight to a transformative gift and teacher. Grief a Pilgrimage incorporates memories, journal entries, prose and photography – tools which enable Espie to poignantly reflect on the loss of her much-loved sister and the insights she has gained from grief. Espie’s inner pilgrimage encourages us to reflect on our own journey in life, and inspires us to continue on the path of healing and self-discovery.

Grief a Pilgrimage offers a unique perspective on grief. Combining reflections and experiences from her own life as a bereaved person and counsellor, Linda Espie takes us on a journey of self-discovery, sharing wisdom about life, love, and loss.
