Riassunto

A daughter dies, a husband is murdered, a son commits suicide, a brother is diagnosed with terminal cancer . . . When tragedy crashes into life, we may be buoyed by the love of family and friends, but we will never truly heal until we make peace with the crisis, relinquishing its stranglehold on our capacity to move forward. For many, this is a journey of faith, an opportunity to forge a new, perhaps deeper relationship with Spirit. Here are the journeys of 14 women of vastly different religious traditions, and how they came to weather their personal storm. No two are alike, yet they all share a path of healing, of stepping slowly back into wholeness and joy after suffering nearly unimaginable loss. May this book be a simple life raft to those of you who suffer, an encouraging gift to help you hang on, to keep you moving until you, too, find peace. You are not alone; others have been there too. If they can make it, so can you. We promise. Judy Wolf, an ordained Interfaith Minister, lost her own 16-year-old son, then embarked on a quest to discover, “How does one heal the heart and soul after this?”

Judy Wolf is a wife of 35 years, a mother of two wonderful sons, and an interfaith minister who describes her contribution as “faith without borders,” serving in the cracks and crevices between denominations.

She is called into sensitive hospital or hospice situations, especially those involving children, and uses her own painful experience to help families navigate difficult situations. Known for her candid, direct and humorous style, she is a regular guest speaker at regional health care conferences. She also conducts weddings, funerals, baby blessings and other sacred ceremonies where multiple faiths are represented or there is no faith affiliation. Judy earned a BA in Economics and Political Science from UC Berkeley, an MBA from St. Mary’s College of California, and was ordained an Interfaith Minister by One Spirit Interfaith Seminary in New York City. In her professional life, she is a human resources consultant, SPHR, specializing in training and development. Spiritual Life Rafts is her first book.
