Book Description
From the writer of the classic Letters to a Young Poet, reflections on grief and loss, collected and published here in one volume for the first time. “A great poet’s reflections on our greatest mystery.”—Billy Collins “A treasure . . . The solace Rilke offers is uncommon, uplifting and necessary.”—The Guardian Gleaned from Rainer Maria Rilke’s voluminous, never-before-translated letters to bereaved friends and acquaintances, The Dark Interval is a profound vision of the mourning process and a meditation on death’s place in our lives. Following the format of Letters to a Young Poet, this book arranges Rilke’s letters into an uninterrupted sequence, showcasing the full range of the great author’s thoughts on death and dying, as well as his sensitive and moving expressions of consolation and condolence. Presented with care and authority by master translator Ulrich Baer, The Dark Interval is a literary treasure, an indispensable resource for anyone searching for solace, comfort, and meaning in a time of grief. Praise for The Dark Interval “Even though each of these letters of condolence is personalized with intimate detail, together they hammer home Rilke’s remarkable truth about the death of another: that the pain of it can force us into a ‘deeper . . . level of life’ and render us more ‘vibrant.’ Here we have a great poet’s reflections on our greatest mystery.”—Billy Collins “As we live our lives, it is possible to feel not sadness or melancholy but a rush of power as the life of others passes into us. This rhapsodic volume teaches us that death is not a negation but a deepening experience in the onslaught of existence. What a wise and victorious book!”—Henri Cole

Book Description
WHAT IS THE GRIEF LETTER? "The Grief Letter" began as a personal letter from an associate pastor of a Tallahassee, Florida, flagship church, offering comfort and encouragement to individuals and families mourning the death of a loved one. Grieving recipients began calling it "the grief letter." Now "the grief letter" has become a full-length book, titled: "The Grief Letter" (TGL). TGL is a thoughtful grief gift for hurting hearts, an encouraging word for sorrow-torn spirits, a field guide for the journey of grief and a practical tool box for helping others in their grief and sorrow --- including grief professionals in their role as pastors, seminary professors, social workers, long term care providers and Hospice personnel. HOW WILL THE GRIEF LETTER HELP ME? TGL will help you and your loved ones deal with the sharp pain and deep sorrow of your grief. Reading TGL is like being with an understanding friend, who listens, offering a non-judgmental ear plus gentle guidance and faith support. TGL will help you along the dark and winding often confusing hallways of grief for as long as you may need help. Keep it close, read, pray. Allow TGL to help you with your grieving --- and maybe even your believing. As you move gradually through your grief, moving forward in your life again, TGL will help you grow toward the time when you will be able to help someone in their grief. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Author, Fran Buhler, possesses a unique background and experience which includes a 21-year ministry career, plus a prior 27-year marketing and business development career with Boston and Florida firms, including managing a Washington, D.C. office. He has published articles in multiple journals and national magazines. From Fran's two decades of grief ministry, conducting 776 funerals and memorial services, came first the letter and now the full-length book. TGL draws on Fran's graduate education from two institutions of theological and biblical study in addition to his personal journey and many years in ministry.
