Living Grief: A Mother/s Odyssey of Surrender, Renewal, and Mad Joy is Angelina Avedano's raw, heartbreaking account of seeing her adult son for the first time in six years and coming to terms with the reality of his advanced schizoaffective disorder. Using myths and stories, she finds a way to make sense of the senselessness of grief, and undergoes a personal metamorphosis. Her Mother/s Odyssey becomes a lesson in letting go of her dreams for her son's future, their relationship as she imagined it would be, and her identity as a mother. Living Grief is not only one mother's story, it demonstrates how loss-no matter how great or small-becomes a catalyst for transformation.
