"An intimate and sensual companion for the journey through grief and loss,

this beautifully crafted anthology by Sharon Gilchrest O'Neill

not only guides us gently through the brutal landscape of death and separation,

but also helps refocus our vision of life, refining and reintegrating us in the process.

An exquisite accomplishment."

Michael Ford, Ph.D.

Author, Father Mychal Judge: An Authentic American Hero

"Grief is an emotion that tells you that you loved someone.

Instead of fighting it, one can embrace its hold on the heart

and find ways to stretch and move through it.

In the same way that poets have sonnets to express love,

Sheltering Thoughts uses the lyricism of poetry

to help readers explore their emotions and find ways to heal.

Any of us who study grief know that it is not a linear experience

but one that ebbs and flows throughout time and can hit you unexpectedly.

This book should be nearby so that readers can fall into its pages and be comforted."
