Thin Places by Mary Treacy O'Keefe

As we journeyed through the intense grief of our losses, we realized that our thin-place experiences and memories brought each of us much-needed comfort and affirmed our belief in eternal life. We learned that to be present in the sacredness of the dying process can be an amazing thin place. (page xvii)
