...imagining us a year, five years, and ten years into the future... helps alleviate a feeling of being stuck in grief by giving us clarity and direction...

Because “grieving for an animal can be a pretty lonely place,” Barbara Abercrombie created this joyful, poignant, funny, and smart collection of commiseration. Readers meet the cat who entered a neighbor’s window and got in bed with strangers, the dog who demanded down pillows, and even a coyote who became part of the family. The essays highlight the sometimes surprising things animals add to a household — and how their loss reverberates.

Publisher's Description: The untimely death of fifteen-year-old, brother Brian, leaves Dana desperate for comfort in her grief. In the forest near their mountain cabin, Dana meets a fantasy friend, Jenny. Together with Mother Nature, ideas develop that motivate Dana to move from guilt to memories, from apathy to energy, from alienation to compassion, from pain to beauty, and from grief to gratitude. 

Everyone touched by the loss of family members, friends, or pets can relate to ideas that helped Dana. Writing A Bow of Promise helped clarify the healing process for me in the death of my younger son. How grateful I am to have the comfort and support of my older son, family, and friends. My gratitude for A Bow of Promise will be fulfilled as the revelations help others in need.
