Book excerpt: Most of the books about grief focus on the first six to twelve months after a loss. This one is for those who are past the initial waves of grief but continue to search for a new direction in life. Author and grief counselor, Thomas John Dennis, D.Min., LCPC, CT, shares the wisdom he's learned from years of companioning the bereaved about how to deal with not just loss, but the life transition that inevitably follows.For Dennis, dragons are metaphors for the challenges we face as we journey through life's uncharted waters. He argues, although dragons can never be completely controlled or conquered, we can learn to befriend them. He suggest that rituals are an ancient form of magic used to charm the dragons we encounter. For those who summon the courage to face what frightens them, there are treasures to be found.Practical and playful this little book offers an unconventional, narrative and short-story approach to learning your way through what comes next. Navigating through grief and life transition can be scary, but for those who dare to sail beyond their comfort zone, a brighter future awaits.
