Description for The Silence of Morning: A Memoir of Time Undone
Review 'After the author's son takes his life, the author begins a quest for solace and insight. We see her loss and the world's: the boy with his fishing pole, the struggling young man searching for life purpose. We are all made of loss, and how we respond is as personal as a fingerprint. Hickman reads widely, reflects on time,lives in the now. And draws nearer to her essential self. This story conveys a distilled wisdom: the gift of a spiritual seeker's brave inquiry.' --Richard Gilbert, author of Shepherd: A Memoir 'The author has written a profound and powerful memoir about the death of her son.�I am also a member of that club to which no one wants to belong: parents who have suffered the death of an adult child.�Grief is a bleak and lonely journey, but I recognized the emotional and spiritual landscape Hickman describes so�lyrically. There are no pat answers here, but there is much meaning, peace, and - yes - hope.'� --John DeDakis, novelist, writing coach, former CNN editor �'With unflinching honesty the author shares her journey from deep, wordless grief to moments of spiritual transcendence. Both sacred and practical, this evocative memoir asks tough questions about life and death by exploring the illuminating relationship between spiritual evolution, profound loss, and universal mysteries that connect one life to the other. The idea of not rushing through grief is comforting, and a new way of looking at time, a vital concept. Hickman's words are a new path: holy and beautiful and heartbreaking.' --Susan Hall Pohlman, author of Halfway to Each Other 'In The Silence of Morning, the author gives us an insightful and candid memoir after the suicide of her son. 'Grief was at the wheel' in this telling, but so are wisdom and discovery. At its center lies heartfelt candor in a lyrical voice in praise of life.' --Mary L. Tabor, author of Who by Fire 'As Hickman gently takes us on a harrowing yet deeply inspiring journey of growing spiritual awareness, a wise, compassionate voice emerges. In her memoir the author--insightful, sublime--shines a strong light on a viable path to wholeness.' �--Cathryn Wellner, author, blogger 'An unforgettable meditation on life and death and the powerful role love plays in attaining spiritual freedom.' --Matthew Peters, Ph.D., novelist 'Most pass through life slightly oblivious to the impact of devastating grief until experienced firsthand. I cried as I followed the author's path, a spiritual journey in which she survived her darkest moments. Ultimately, illumination follows. No one will avoid great, heartrending loss, but Hickman's memoir offers warmth and friendship to anyone navigating these perilous waters. A book to treasure.' --Lynne Morgan Spreen, author of Dakota Blues Read more From the Author 'The author's memoir gifts readers with the most heart-rending perspective of this vividly painted word picture--the view through a mother's eyes. At once a loving legacy and an unsparing depiction of the elusive lines between 'phase versus problem; serious use versus experimentation; relapse versus recovery; life versus death,' this compelling memoir is a gift of life, hope, and healing.' --Laurie Hunter Buchanan, Ph.D.,author of Note to Self'As a mother who lost a young daughter, I understand the 'silence of morning'--a gutting reminder with nowhere to hide, but also a space to keep sacred and process. Though time has elapsed since Charlotte's loss, her memory--her essence--still comes to me through these mysterious layers of silence.' --Sukey Forbes, author of The Angel in My Pocket''Significant loss yanks you up, shakes you around like a rag doll, and drops you at the beginning of your remembered history,' the author tells us, in her devastatingly truthful, unflinching memoir dedicated to her beloved son, Matthew, gone at 27 by his own hand. Hour by hour, day by day, Hickman shows us how a mother's unfathomable loss becomes an opportunity for spiritual transformation; how the dark shroud of death can shine a clari�fying light on the mystery of this mortal existence. In the brave language of personal revelation, the author proves that only love can transcend the worst of tragedies.' --Keith Lindwood Stover, musician, essayist, novelist 'So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing.' --T. S. EliotWhen I first began writing this book I wondered what was left to say, to do, after a sudden death. When everyone had returned to schedules, routines, and responsibilities that were insistently framed by calendars and clocks, not by the stirring passion of grief, and I felt alone like never before. Is that where the conversation ends, I'd wondered.I also sensed, however, that the root causes of addiction (the issues my son struggled with) were largely unexposed, unexplored. That 'cause' was buried somewhere within every human being, manifesting as a futile search for whatever society insists is important, necessary, good, fulfilling, or fun. Pointing us in a multitude of unfruitful directions, it's common to believe that happiness and contentment reside ... somewhere else.There were many times when I knew lasting answers were as distant and reclusive as the sun's warmth on a stark winter day. Something I learned, though, while writing my memoir ... there is no path to tomorrow, not really. Rather, there is only the path that leads to deeper awareness of this, and each, moment. I'm not sure how or when I became fully aware of this, but it was somewhere along the way. So no matter how fast we run--no matter how much urgency we affix to goals, plans, schedules--there is only ONE destination: the one within.And in the end, unlike fads and trends, we don't leave those we've loved behind; they, too, are part of the mystery that never dies. And though we bloom briefly, then fade, the universe always returning to itself, when we allow life to touch us deeply, even in sorrow, somehow, it extends our mortal view, and our glory. --Daisy A. Hickman author of The Silence of Morning It's a misapprehension ... that by writing memoir you'repurging yourself of your demons. Writing memoir has the opposite effect. It embeds your story deep inside you. It mediates the relationshipbetween the present and the past by freezing a moment in time. --Dani Shapiro, memoirist, novelist Read more About the Author D.A.
