Empty Branch: A Memoir

There's nothing more painful than losing a child. And no magic answer makes it all better.. But there is the power of sharing our stories. In Empty branch, Marilyn Weisenburg powerfully chronicles her journey of lament, sharing the raw and honest brutality of processing her son's tragic death in Iraq. Her fierce prose walks unflinchingly through the valley of the shadow, taking a sledgehammer to the religious platitudes and Hallmark cliches that are often given to the grieving. Yet her journey does not land there, but travels through the trenches into the presence of a God who is big enough to take everything we've got to bring--and is present, with us in our pain, to bring us not ultimately to an abstract answer," so much as to bring us to Himself."--Page 4 of cover.
