		<description><![CDATA[To turn this sequence into a continuous narrative, we look for lessons from other authors who have done the same thing. Here are several examples of memoirs that describe the journey of grief. Each book demonstrates how to collect the upheavals of life into the container of a story.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Then it was my job to turn the audience's attention back to their own goals. I realized there wasn't enough time to conduct a real workshop, but in the small amount of time available, I wanted to convince everyone that the problems of writing a memoir are solvable. "When you look back through your memories, they fly out at you in a variety of bits and pieces, entangled in time, and at first only make sense to you. As you write scenes and accumulate them in sequence, they begin to take shape. As you see the material of your life take shape on the page, you gradually tame the flood of memories and begin to craft them into a story worth reading."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Now I realize after reading "Losing Jonathan" that I loved the Waxlers' memoir for similar reasons. Like Kate Braestrup they were on a quest to wrest their sanity back from the abyss. At first they were thirsty for support from their community. Then, after five years, Linda suggested, "We should try to write a book. It would be a way of honoring Jonathan's life. Sustaining it." The suggestion reflected Linda's desire now to give back to the community some of the strength they had given her. And the vehicle for their gift was a book.]]></description>
