Na jornada de Daniel, o ouvinte vai se deparar com o cotidiano de um estudante de medicina que, junto a uma equipe de paliativistas do SUS, assiste a pacientes–em sua maioria, pessoas periféricas, carentes tanto de suporte econômico quanto de suporte psicológico. Se a finitude da existência ainda é um assunto tabu em nosso cotidiano, as dores e as angústias (tanto físicas quanto morais) que, muitas vezes, antecedem a morte, constituem temáticas ainda mais interditas na sociedade.

If you've experienced profound loss, you may feel numb, disoriented, or despondent. The last thing you want to hear is that "time heals all wounds." It sounds like an empty promise—one that negates the importance of what has passed. The truth is that you may never fully heal—and that is okay. You can still go on to live a rich, meaningful, and vibrant life. This gentle guide will help you transform the overwhelming sadness of grief into validation, hope, and personal growth.

On August 15, 2014, I received a phone call that would forever change my life. My husband of 19 years, Larry, and only child, nine-year-old Landon, had just died in a plane crash. This is my survival story. I say survival because at times I thought I would die of a broken heart. Although this story is the raw, vulnerable truth of grief, my survival is anchored in hope and faith that was shaken to its core. God met me right where I was and walked with me on the most difficult and burdensome journey of my life.

What do you do when the life you knew shatters in an instant? Grief is the price of love—a painful, uninvited guest that arrives when we lose someone dear. In Living Beyond the Loss, you’ll walk with a woman who never expected to become a widow at 50, yet found herself navigating life after the sudden death of her beloved husband, Danny. This book is not a manual filled with neat answers or tidy steps. It is an honest, compassionate journey through sorrow, faith, and ultimately, hope. With raw vulnerability and spiritual insight, the author shares how grief—while never disappearing—can evolve.

In fact, he never reached the stone!
