With compassion and hope, spiritual writer Sr. Anne Field helps us face the inevitable losses we experience through aging, illness, and other causes of suffering. She gently urges readers to choose freely to replace gloomy attitudes of self pity with God"s perspectives on pain and disabilities. God, she says, does not want to burden us with more losses but wants to strengthen us to bear our suffering. The Lord wants us to find meaning in life by growing deeper in faith and love and extending his kingdom on earth through our losses, not in spite of them.
