Dance with Angels

Dance with Angels is a nonfiction memoir exploring grief, meaning, and the search for it and recovery after the loss of someone important to you.

After the sudden loss of his twenty-year-old son, the author begins a deeply personal journey through grief, doubt and questioning. Combining lived experience with research, the book explores how religious traditions, spiritual viewpoints, and modern science seek to explain death, the afterlife, consciousness, and purpose. While acknowledging the comfort and insights religion can provide, it also highlights its limitations and unresolved contradictions.

Instead of endorsing any single belief system, Dance with Angels helps readers draw on the most thoughtful aspects of science, religion, and spirituality to develop their own personal understanding of progress. Grief is seen not as something to be defeated, but as a process that changes over time. The author proposes that, through reflection and exploration, sorrow can soften, meaning can be restored, and laughter can eventually return alongside remembrance.
