Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The woman next to Meg was taking her husband’s ashes to Westminster Abbey in London. She had never been on an airplane before, and was traveling all over the world sprinkling him here and there. #2 Meg was sitting next to a woman who began talking about her family, and she didn’t have the energy to keep up with the conversation. She had grown to love and appreciate each of them: Mara, a fifty-year-old wife, mother of three sons, and soon-to-be grandmother; Charissa, a married and newly pregnant graduate student; Hannah, a pastor on a nine-month sabbatical from ministry in Chicago. #3 During the retreat, Meg had learned how to pray for others, and she was praying for them every day. She was hoping that her time with Becca would help her learn how to have Christian hope, which wasn’t about wishing for things to happen, but about trusting God to be faithful no matter what. #4 After twenty-one years of repressing her grief, Meg had recently discovered the courage and freedom not only to mourn, but to let Jim live again in her mind and heart. She wanted Becca to know how much her father had loved her, even before he knew her.
