In a raw and inspiring reflection on grief, a mourning sister processes her personal story of loss by exploring the history of bereavement customs.​ When Amanda Held Opelt suffered a season of loss—including three miscarriages and the unexpected death of her sister, New York Times bestselling writer Rachel Held Evans—she was confronted with sorrow she didn't know to how face. Opelt struggled to process her grief and accept the reality of the pain in the world. She also wrestled with some unexpectedly difficult questions: What does it mean to truly grieve and to grieve well? Why is it so hard to move on? Why didn’t my faith prepare me for this kind of pain? And what am I supposed to do now? Her search for answers led her to discover that generations past embraced rituals that served as vessels for pain and aided in the process of grieving and healing. Today, many of these traditions have been lost as religious practice declines, cultures amalgamate, death is sanitized, and pain is averted.   In this raw and authentic memoir of bereavement, Opelt explores the history of human grief practices and how previous generations have journeyed through periods of suffering. She explores grief rituals and customs from various cultures, including:    the Irish tradition of keening, or wailing in grief, which teaches her that healing can only begin when we dive headfirst into our grief    the Victorian tradition of post-mortem photographs and how we struggle to recall a loved one as they were    the Jewish tradition of sitting shiva, which reminds her to rest in the strength of her community even when God feels absent    the tradition of mourning clothing, which set the bereaved apart in society for a time, allowing them space to honor their grief As Opelt explores each bereavement practice, it gives her a framework for processing her own pain. She shares how, in spite of her doubt and anger, God met her in the midst of sorrow and grieved along with her, and shows that when we carefully and honestly attend to our losses, we are able to expand our capacity for love, faith, and healing.

"Children are reminded to remember God's promises when Worry begins to creep in to their thoughts"--

"After years on the road performing at sold-out venues alongside platinum-selling and Grammy-winning Christian artists, Tyson Motsenbocker returned home to the impending death of his 57-year-old hero and mother. He begged God to heal her, but she died anyway. When they buried her body, Tyson also buried the childhood version of his faith. Weeks before her death, however, Motsenbocker discovered the story of 18th-century Spanish monk St. Junipero Serra who dedicated his life to the idea that tragedy and suffering are portals to renewal. He discovered Serra's "El Camino Real," a 600-mile pilgrimage route down the California coast that had been largely forgotten for more than 200 years. In desperation, Motsenbocker sets out to retrace the Saint's steps along the freeways and underpasses, littered beaches and multi-million-dollar coastal estates. During the next 40 days, Motsenbocker sinks below the comfortable surface of society he has always known, enduring excruciating pain, dodging addicts and roaring traffic, stepping over rats, and befriending retired veterans. His pilgrimage up the Western shore of America connects him to a lost mystic who often seems to hover just above as he grieves the loss of his mother and the insolubility of the kind of God he once comfortably trusted. Where the Waves Turn Back is a literary journey for the wanderer, doubter, adventurer, skeptic, mystic and seeker in all of us. Worn-out and weary travelers of all ages will be invited, along with Motsenbocker, to renegotiate their place in a world that's irrevocably changed. Readers will be captivated by the depth of Motsenbocker's honesty and vulnerability, enchanted by his lyrical prose, and inspired by his hard-fought healing. But more than this, they will discover portals to their own spiritual wonderings-the kinds that require leaving behind the worlds we once loved and loving the worlds in which we live"--
