Ordinary Losses: Naming the Graces
That Shape Us Filled with wonder and incisive exploration, Ordinary Losses offers a vivid appreciation for the grace that comes from naming what we have left behind. We often think of loss as a part of later life, but loss shapes us from the time we are born. From the perspective of someone in her twenties, Elisa Stanford explores the realities and redemptions of these losses. What do we grieve in our twenties and thirties? We grieve our shifting understanding of God, even as our faith develops and matures. We grieve the loss of home and time. Every decision we make—marriage, parenthood, career, friendships—ushers us into change. As it does, we expand to make room for new possibilities and a stronger pulse of faith.
