Grab Life – And Live!

The Shape Of Your Heart by Debbie Howells is a charming contemporary novel that follows a character on a journey through grief.

Grief is not a linear route, there are ups and downs, good days and bad days. No one person’s journey is the same as anyone else.

The journey through grief can be lonely. We need to let others in.

Grief is closely tied in with guilt. “Is it wrong to imagine being happy again?” We fear that if we laugh, we are being disloyal to our loved one. Our loved ones don’t want us to lock up our heart and live in the past. They want us to just glance at the past in our rearview mirror and then move forwards into the future.

Within the book a character walks the Camino way in Spain. It is a journey of discovery as a life is examined along the way.
