"Moments of Panic, Moments of Peace" is a collection of essays on reconnecting with life after loss. After the sudden death of her husband, the author finds herself facing a totally different life from the one she had imagined. Three years after her loss and dissatisfied with her "progress", she sells her house and most of her belongings, quits her job, and moves to coastal Maine. There, she begins the process of making peace with her loss, understanding her reactions to it, and finding a way to feel whole again. Using a short essay format, and a down to earth writing style, she honestly and elegantly conveys the essence of her experience with loss and provides a fresh look on how to take life as it comes - moment by moment. Whether you are dealing with a traumatic loss ( be it a death, divorce, disability, illness, loss of a job or home), or just seeking to change your perspective on how you live your life, then "Moments of Panic, Moments of Peace" can help make your journey easier, your path smoother, and your burden lighter.
