The Deep Water Leaf Society: Harnessing the Transformative Power of Grief
Author Claire Perkins is a mother who embarks on a remarkable journey of awakening after her eldest son - whose lifelong struggle with ADHD has stripped him of self-esteem and left him addicted to crystal meth - dies in jail at age 26.
Cameron's death leaves many issues unresolved. Claire finds she must come to terms with her anger and guilt and learn to make sense of what seems like a senseless loss. As she struggles toward resolution, Claire discovers that through dreams, journaling, expressive arts and music she continuously receives messages of healing and hope - signs that death has not ended her relationship with her son. They are still communicating and their relationship can still be healed. Ultimately, she discovers a profound but simple truth: love is the only power and love never dies.
More than a story of loss and redemption, The Deep Water Leaf Society is a story of hope and transformation. A unique guidebook packed with methods for processing grief, this inspiring story can become a roadmap to healing for anyone experiencing loss.
The Deep Water Leaf Society was awarded First Place Nonfiction Self-help and Best Nonfiction Book of the Year by Reader Views. www.readerviews.com/Awards2008Winners.html
"A total page turner that's hard to put down. This book will touch the hearts of all who read it. More importantly, it will show them a way into and through their grief. Everyone has losses; we all have something or someone to grieve. The Deep Water Leaf Society brings light to a subject that is so dark that most people don't want to go there."
-Lucia Capacchione, PhD, author of The Art of Emotional Healing and The Creative Journal
"A deeply moving personal account of healing from grief through dreamwork, creative journaling, and the willingness to follow the heart unsparingly. We learn that healing and forgiveness are possible across the apparent barrier of death, and that our most savage wounds can release our greatest gifts."
-Robert Moss, author of Conscious Dreaming and The Three "Only" Things: Tapping the Power of Dreams, Coincidence and Imagination
