Author Jon Gauthier writes about his own life's losses, the unspeakable deaths of his five siblings: Tom (16), Kathy (19), Jackie (18), Mickey (10) and Kelly (8). Denying a path of bitterness, Jon embraces holy consolation in fiath and humility, and shares his perspectives on pain -- how he reconciles it with living in the world. In an approachable form of a series of written reflections, Jon's honest faith journey proclaims the goodness of God's undeniable love and presence in our lives, and how we are to live our lives, "embracing goodness" every day.

Within these pages are simple words of comfort and wisdom that offer spiritual consolation for those who have suffered the loss of a loved one and struggle with how life works. For some, the challenge may be finding the appropriate moments to pause and honestly process devastating pain. For others, verbally expressing what the heart feels presents an impenertrable wall. More broadly, this book is for anyone who has had a question about life and how we are to live it. It may benefit many people you know and love -- sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, and friends -- or it may benefit just one person, you.
