Written especially for women who have struggled with the death of a child under age thirteen, One Ripple at a Time describes one mother's guidance of her family and herself through grief, with practical advice for embracing new horizons of growth and self-confidence, as well as surprising connections. On a family vacation in Austria, Janice Jensen's children played near a sleepy stream. Suddenly the water rose catastrophically. Miles upstream, a power company had released a raging torrent that rushed down and swept away her young son as she watched helplessly. Heartbroken, Janice gave all her love and support to her surviving daughter and devastated husband as the three struggled to rebuild their lives together. This life-affirming memoir follows Janice's decades-long journey from deepest anguish to helping others and discovering more of the world as she teaches, dances, and lives abroad in Colombia, Syria, and Saudi Arabia. In a plainspoken, warm, and honest voice, Janice shares how she survives waves of pain and finds gifts of love. Over time, she confronts her fear of water and builds a life that fully embraces joy. And ultimately, her passion for ballroom dance leads her to reconnect with her son's spirit.
