- Abstract
The article discusses the book "Grief on the Road to Emmaus: A Monastic Approach to Journeying with the Bereaved" by Beth L. Hewett. The author, who has experience as a hospice volunteer and a Benedictine, explores the contribution of the monastic tradition to the literature on human mortality. The book is grounded in a solid understanding of the Rule and monasticism, using monastic values to frame teachings on bereavement facilitation. It offers practical advice and includes approaches from other faith traditions, making it a valuable resource for those in the field of bereavement. However, due to its specific audience, monastery libraries may find it more beneficial to invest in titles with broader readership. Nonetheless, the book could be useful for community leaders addressing grief in the face of decline and completion.
