Ashley Davis Bush published Transcending Loss in 1997. Since then she has grown her Transcending Loss brand by becoming a sought after speaker for professional conferences and by reaching out directly to the bereaved through online communities where she has established tens of thousands of followers. In her new book, HOPE & HEALING FOR TRANSCENDING LOSS, Bush offers daily readings - bite sized lifelines and glimpses of hope for those coping with the death of a loved one. The book comprises a brief introduction, a brief conclusion and 365 daily meditations, plus a few additional pieces for particularly difficult occasions like death date, birth date, anniversary, holidays and more. Scattered throughout are calming photographs for further contemplation or stillness. Bush’s writings focus on normalising and validating the incredibly painful process of grieving. She offers a compassionate perspective on staying connected to the deceased, focusing on love, living with gratitude, channelling pain to compassion, transcending loss, making meaning and living into a new self.
