A FIERCE AND AUTHENTIC MEMOIRWhen trauma disrupts your foundational beliefs, the journey to a new way of being can be daunting and lonely. In this honest and poetic memoir Christine brings hope to the possibilities of spiritual healing. During a period of expansive inquiry into a variety of spiritual traditions, her husband's sudden death created a longing to return to the Christianity of her roots. Finding the patriarchal religion of her upbringing no longer served her, she sought alternative Christian perspectives through a new lens of grief, healing compassion, and the sacred feminine. In Do You Want to Be Well, Christine helps readers courageously explore the spaces where religion fails us, where facing tough realities is necessary, and how self-love is discovered and nurtured. In exploring her own grief, Christine invites us to discover how all versions of our self, crafted and experienced throughout a lifetime, can inform trauma recovery. She reminds us to appreciate the healing moments we take for granted, and shows us how suffering intensifies the sacred opening of the soul.
