A mother who has just lost her son asks the author to help her get through terribly unbearable mourning. This echoes the therapist’s most dreadful fear: losing her own child. How is it to remain in the right posture, to be sensitive without collapsing? How is it to reach this woman locked up in her pain, whose turmoil and distress is deeply felt by the author, who attempts to bring her back to life, whereas she visits her son’s grave twice a day? The proposal that will restore light will surprise you. Risk-taking and caution have harvested fruit here, backed by solid thinking.
