A Long Letting Go

Wise, nurturing reflections for caregivers letting go of loved ones

This beautiful volume of reflections by Marilyn Chandler McEntyre is for family members and friends who are doing the life-changing work of accompanying someone on the final stretch of his or her journey. In quiet counterpoint to our hurried lives, A Long Letting Go invites caregivers to slow down for reflection and prayer as they prepare to say good-bye to a beloved friend or family member and grieve that loss.


Based on McEntyre's personal and professional experience with the dying, these gentle meditations — each consisting of a short opening quote, a reflection, and a prayer — offer comfort, direction, hope, and respite to caregivers during a difficult season of their lives.
