About this listen
How does one accept a gift from death when death is the very enemy that took your loved one away?
Death has come bearing gifts for me more than once. Tightly bound in grief, these gifts are hard to unwrap, yet it is only in the unwrapping that we reveal the lesson and ease the grief. Our burden becomes lighter, and our soul expands. Can you prepare for such gifts, or is it only in hindsight that grief can mend our broken hearts?
Chronicling the deaths of a lover, my father, and my only son, A Series of Surrenders is not only a love letter to them, but it is also a lesson in making friends with grief and learning to love again. Dive into the depths of grief and the hope of what is possible when a broken heart repairs and a soul expands in lessons of love.

Most of us believe that we will finally feel satisfied and content with our lives when we get the good news we have been waiting for, find a healthy relationship, or achieve one of our personal goals. However, this rarely happens. Good fortune is often followed by negative emotions that overtake us and result in destructive behaviors.

In the summer after graduating from college, Suleika Jaouad was preparing, as they say in commencement speeches, to enter “the real world”. She had fallen in love and moved to Paris to pursue her dream of becoming a war correspondent. The real world she found, however, would take her into a very different kind of conflict zone. It started with an itch - first on her feet, then up her legs, like a thousand invisible mosquito bites. Then a trip to the doctor and, a few weeks shy of her 23rd birthday, a diagnosis: leukemia, with a 35 percent chance of survival.

Laila Tarraf was the chief people officer for Peet’s Coffee and Tea, the iconic Berkeley coffee roaster, but she had a secret: She was failing in the most important relationships in her life. Yes, she was a strong and effective business leader, the successful daughter of immigrants, and the mother of a toddler, but she was disconnected from her own feelings and had little patience for those of others. All that changed, however, when three of the people most important to her - her husband, father, and mother - died in quick succession.

In sharing how he grew into a Zen teacher, Shukman demystifies Zen training, casting its profound insights in simple, lucid language. Along the way, One Blade of Grass guides listeners on a journey of their own, into the hidden treasures that contemplative practice can reveal to any of us.

Story
The greatest contribution of the ancient shamans to modern healing is the understanding that in the course of any life we are liable to suffer soul loss - the loss of parts of our vital energy and identity - and that to be whole and well, we must find the means of soul recovery. Moss teaches that our dreams give us maps we can use to find and bring home our lost or stolen soul parts. He shows how to recover animal spirits and ride the windhorse of spirit to places of healing and adventure in the larger reality.

Empaths not only sense other people’s emotions, but also absorb them - sometimes to their own disadvantage, often leading to overwhelming sensory overload and feelings of confusion or low self-esteem. Their willingness to help and please others might make them prey to opportunists or cause them to give away more energy than they can afford.

If you've loved and lost, this is for you.
Grief is something that has always shrouded my life through the loss of relationships with the still living. Grief soaked in guilt drove me to endure and carry the blame, then I got to dance my dog through death over a year ago. She was the one that allowed me to finally transform guilt free grief into the greater understanding of life, love, surrender and being more than I could ever imagine I was. Ironically I had a one on one session with Deb 6 months before Nom-ah died and she prepared me with a little bit of her sparkle for a greater journey I had no idea was coming.
Deb tells her own story and journey of grief in a universal way that echoed the feelings and revelations of my own. She spoke from her own experience, but through her reflections, honesty and understandings she held space for my story alongside hers. She has a knack with communication and words that speaks directly to your heart, its her story but its also ours. Its raw, messy, hard and honest, and Deb does not shy away from that. There will be shared tears, laughter, sorrow and comfort.
If you’ve loved and lost, this is the audiobook for you.
Big love, and big thanks for this incredible gift you’re sharing Deb. Sparkle on!

Spellbinding Stories of Love and Grief
I'm so glad I listened to the author read this, though I will definitely be returning to it in print as well. Debra is a wonderful storyteller and her journey is made even more inspiring and moving by her reading of it. This book is equal parts heart-breaking and heartening, and I had a tough time turning it off. When I was listening, I often found myself replaying sections over again. I think one of the marks of a great read is in continuing to think about it long after you've finished, and this one fits that bill.

More than Surrendering - It's about intention
I love a good memoir for the story line. I love a good story with a lesson. And I love a good lesson with inspiration. Lately, I have looked past all of these and craved stories about intention - recognizing it, realizing it and reaching for it. This book/memoir/story/lesson/inspiration is all about intention. I especially treasure hearing it in the author's own voice, as a narrator can often miss emphasis. With a podcast about grief, I read every book I find about the topic - but this is so much more. It's about where grief can take you and what you can do with it. I'm starting my second listen - I just know there are tidbits I missed on my first listen. Thank you Debra Lynne Driscoll for being brave enough to share!

Clear Your Schedule
Once you have this book in your library, clear your schedule because once you start listening, you won’t be able to stop. This is the most suspenseful memoir I’ve ever read/heard. I found myself crying and cheering Deb D. on as she shares her vulnerable journey with us. She is an incredible story teller and it’s as if you’re in the same room with her.

Moving and comforting
I listened to the audio book in one day as I was deeply moved by Debra's story. She is a fantastic story teller and she obviously has a very special story to tell. The book is beautifully written and you can sense with every work that it comes from the heart. You are left with a sense of awareness of how fragile life can be but also with a renewed knowing that love can transcend everything no matter how challenging your path. I absolutely loved listening to this audio book!
