When Stan Kukalowicz, a much beloved member of the Manchester Buddhist Centre sangha, died suddenly in June, 2014, his widow, Tricia E. Bratton, found solace and meaning in expressing her grief journey through writing. As MondayÕs writer for a blog called WidowÕs Voice, TriciaÕs posts struck a chord in those who knew Stan, in those who had never met him, and in those who had also experienced deep loss.
This volume collects some of TriciaÕs most powerful writing, offering insight gained from the BuddhaÕs teaching and from her own engagement with the sweet, poignant and painful turns in navigating the landscape of grief.
The profits from the sale of this book will be donated to the Stan Kukalowicz Bursary Fund, a fund set up in his name by the MBC to provide financial assistance to those who could not otherwise afford to attend retreats.
