4.9/5 (11208 ratings)

Description:Winner of a Catholic Press Association Award: Soft cover-spirituality books. (Third Place). For thirty years, beginning with "Fresh Bread" in 1985, Joyce Rupp has comforted millions with such books as "Praying Our Goodbyes" and "May I Walk You Home?." For the first time, she shares the story of her own grief in the wake of her mother s death, offering readers both a profile of her mother s resilient spirit and a voice of compassion for their own experience of loss. In this heartfelt memoir about her mother Hilda s final years, Joyce Rupp shares the lessons her mother taught her, especially to fly while you still have wings. As a poor farmer s wife and the mother of eight living on rented land in Maryhill, Iowa, Hilda lived a life of hard labor and constant responsibility from milking cows and raising chickens to keeping the farm s financial ledger. Rupp shows how the difficulties of her mother s early years and family life, including the loss of a twenty-three-year-old son, forged a resilience that guided her through the illnesses and losses she faced in later years. This affectionate profile of their relationship is, at the same time, an honest self-examination, as Rupp shares the ways she sometimes failed to listen to, accept, and understand her mother in her final years. Rupp begins each chapter with a meditative poem that captures the essence of each stage in the journey. Her unfailing candor and profound faith illumine this story of a mother and daughter with a universal spirit of hope, reconciliation, and peace."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
