About This Book
A Grandfather's Lessons on Love, Loss, and the Gifts of Life
Review by C.S. Clarke, Ph.D.
This touching (but not sentimental) book is a series of letters from a
grandfather to a grandson, each of whom has a disability. What makes the
book so moving is that the writer, a psychotherapist for many years, is
able to express himself with such completely open emotional honesty and
to tell the hard truths about himself. He wants to do more than simply
share the valuable lessons he has learned while living through his own
pain, loss and disability. He wants his grandson to remember that life
is full of potential love and joy and that working through the
inevitable challenges he will face will serve to bring him even greater
love and joy.
But there is much more here. The letters cover hard-won and profound
insights into many questions we all ask ourselves about the unrealistic
expectations and dissapointments we find in life. Insights about how we
interpret and misinterpret events and the actions of others. Insights
about what is valuable and what is distraction. Insights about hope,
acceptance and compassion.
The book takes a short time to read. It has taken a lifetime for Daniel
Gottlieb to learn the wisdom he writes. He shares his words with his
grandson and with us in hopes that we may assimilate his lessons in a
much shorter and easier time than it took him.
