Drawing on a lifetime of personal experiences-including the loss of ten loved ones in two years-Moriah Melín W. offers a grounded framework for accompanying others through the three stages of death with steadiness, clarity, and heart.Blending tips and tools, personal stories, essential guidance, and reflective exercises, she invites readers to relearn what our ancestors have always known: how to hold each other while Standing at the Veil.
