Dealing with profound change. There
are many ways in which the course of our daily lives can be altered—illness, change in residence,
loss of employment and death of loved ones. These alterations can require dramatic and even subtle
changes in our everyday living, limit our options and force us to choose different priorities.
Dolores Leckey knows firsthand that the death of a spouse changes forever the rhythms of life at all
levels—body, mind and soul. In this moving and personal narrative that includes entries from
her journal, she shares with us her own shift in consciousness, in the way she sees God, herself and
the world after her husband’s death. She offers us consolation and hope.

“Dolores Leckey’s year-of-reflections after her husband Tom’s death is a personal
gift to all of us, because, as she rightly notes, ‘we all belong to each other’ and we
can learn from each others’ joys and sorrows. Although her entries will be especially meaningful
to those whose spouses have died, the depth of her words can touch us all if we let ourselves be open
to the wisdom of another.”—Pat Fosarelli, M.D., D. Min., assistant dean, The Ecumenical
Institute of Theology
“What a rich, sustaining companion this volume will be for women experiencing the pain (and
sometimes dread numbness) of grief. Grieving With Grace is at once literary, personal,
universal, inspiring, healing. There are, thankfully, a wide variety of ‘grief guides’ available
today, but few that provide the spiritual depth offered here.”—Linus Mundy, author and
founder of CareNotes, resources for the grieving and distressed
“…a beautifully written book that can be recommended to women (or anyone) seeking spiritual
growth after the loss of a loved one and an inspirational guide to help you express your sorrow and
deepen your trust in God.”—Julia Duane Quinlan, co-founder of Karen Ann Quinlan Hospice
and author of Karen Ann
“…filled with profound insight into the challenges and graces of deep grief. Leckey probes
the meaning of resurrection and how it intertwines with the communion of saints.”—Janice
McGrane, S.S.J., author, Saints to Lean On: Spiritual Companions for Illness & Disability
