At the center of this book is the relationship of human life with the traumatic experience of loss. What happens inside us when we lose someone we have deeply loved? What void opens up? What work awaits us to return to living? And what happens when this work proves impossible and we feel lost together with those we have lost? The work of mourning and nostalgia are two examples of how we can remain close to what we have lost without being swallowed by pain. While our time exalts the future, the project, and enterprise, mourning and nostalgia remind us that looking backward is not always a sign of powerlessness, but can also nourish the resources needed to be truly capable of never ceasing to be born. Can light come from the past? Can there be light in the dust?
