Down"“We
can
do
extraordinary
things
when
we
lead
with
love,”
Barbara
Becker
reminds
us
in
her
debut
memoir
Heartwood**.**When
her
earliest
childhood
friend
is
diagnosed
with
a
terminal
illness,
Becker
sets
off
on
a
quest
to
immerse
herself
in
what
it
means
to
be
mortal.
Can
we
live
our
lives
more
fully
knowing
some
day
we
will
die?With
a
keen
eye
towards
that
which
makes
life
worth
living,
Barbara
Becker—a
perpetual
seeker,
a
mom,
and
an
interfaith
leader—recounts
stories
where
life
and
death
intersect
in
unexpected
ways.
She
volunteers
on
a
hospice
floor,
becomes
an
eager
student
of
the
many
ways
people
find
meaning
at
the
end
of
life,
and
accompanies
her
parents
in
their
final
days.Becker
inspires
readers
to
live
with
the
end
in
mind
and
proves
that
turning
toward
loss
rather
than
away
from
it
is
the
only
true
way
to
live
life
to
its
fullest.
Just
as
with
the
heartwood
of
a
tree—the
central
core
that
is
no
longer
alive
yet
supports
the
newer
growth
rings—the
dead
become
an
enduring
source
of
strength
to
the
living.With
life-affirming
prose,
Becker
helps
us
see
that
that
grief
is
not
a
problem
to
be
solved,
but
rather
a
sacred
invitation—an
opportunity
to
let
go
into
something
even
greater…a
love
that
will
inform
all
the
days
of
our lives.
