"As a hospital chaplain, Amy Wright Glenn has been present with those suffering from trauma, disease, and unforeseen accidents and has been witness to the intense grief and powerful insights that so often accompany loss. In Holding Space, Glenn asks us to embrace the task of being present with what is--through courageous and mindful expressions of compassionate presence--and helps us to accept the fact of our own mortality on a visceral and emotional level, not simply as an intellectual abstraction. Glenn weaves together memoir, philosophical inquiry, and cutting-edge research on death and dying to chronicle how we, as individuals and as a culture, approach the journey of loving, dying, and letting go." -- Back cover.
