The essays of The Loneliest Places began as a chronicle of Rachel Dickinson’s life after her son’s suicide. The pieces became much more.

In her bittersweet memoir, Mary Fairhurst Breen sketches scenes from a life darkened by generations of mental illness and addiction. Despite the odds, Mary’s sense of humor and willingness to practice “radical acceptance” see her through the chaos to a life full of friends, art, and the joys of being a grandmother. Ultimately, she must face her greatest challenge of all when her daughter becomes one of the tens of thousands of people every year to die of opioid poisoning. This is a journey of awakening and activism, and a portrait of a life to be celebrated in all its complexity.

Nel corso dei secoli è stato insegnato alle persone a considerare la morte con orrore. Questa è una politica sbagliata perché il bene non nasce mai dal male e la paura in particolare non è mai costruttiva. Ora è arrivato il momento di ascoltare la verità. E la verità è che non esiste la morte. Non c'è assolutamente motivo di temere la morte. Perché ciò che chiamiamo morte non è altro che l'altro lato della vita. L'anima dell'uomo è immortale e il suo futuro è la crescita e il miglioramento.

Showing how grief doesn't happen in neat orderly stages, it explains how to work through painful emotions and questions and find God's peace and healing.

This book is about death: how we approach it, and how families, and those breathing their last, might deal with it. While the author has been surrounded by death for decades, putting these words to “paper” was the result of the impending death of a friend and colleague, a professor of political science and a fighter for social and economic justice. The book’s rationale is to assist the family of the dying human—and perhaps the dying person themselves—as they attempt to navigate our byzantine, inefficient, and, too often, inhumane health system.
