Transfiguring Loss: Julian of Norwich as a Guide for Survivors of Traumatic Grief

Maynard explores the contributions that 15th century Julian of Norwich's (who lost her own family to the Plague) theology and spirituality may offer to survivors of traumatic loss–the losses suffered by survivors of September 11 and the Tsunami as well as those who have lost a loved one to AIDS. Reading Julian's work taught Maynard that a transcendent experience of love offers hope in the midst of loss, and she shares that inspiration in this resource.
