Why me? Sooner or later, it is a question that we
all ask as we struggle with the pain and despair
of losing a loved one, as we come face-to-face
with our own mortality, as we search for the
meaning of our lives and the reasons for our
anguish. But Rabbi Pesach Krauss believes that
even in the bleakest hours, there is room for
hope. For it is during these times of crisis that
we actually have the greatest opportunity for
growth--the chance to transcend sorrow, anger,
guilt, and fear and emerge with a greater capacity
for life and a deeper appreciation of our own
uniqueness. In Why Me? Rabbi Krauss draws on his
own life experience as well as the experiences of
patients he has counseled as chaplain at
Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, to show
you how you can: Use losses creatively to
survive--and grow. Tap emotional power to achieve
spiritual wholeness. Cope with impending
death--your own or that of someone you love.
Provide genuine support to those in mourning.
Finished "unfinished" agendas and find peace of
mind, And much more. For good people everywhere
who are hurting, Why Me? is a prescription for a
truly meaningful life--the joyous gift of learning
how to make every second count.
