In our journey on this earth, we will inevitably encounter loss along the way; it's simply part of the human experience. In this latest book by the author of "Wisdom from Others: 9 Life Lessons from My Dad," Donita Brown is joined by 11 fellow writers with stories of personal loss and the lessons learned from pain and adversity.The many forms of loss are as varied and complex as life itself. Readers will share in the authors' experiences of losing friends and family, find the humor in fading youth, relive memories of childhood homes, relate to missed opportunities to grow friendships, embrace the fear of career changes, and remember that life doesn't always turn out how we planned. The lessons learned and shared in this book are powerful ones-the wisdom, confidence, resilience, and love that can come from loss are invaluable and make us who we are. As one of the authors put it, "Sometimes magic in life is found in the clouds."
