A Memoir by Bruce Miller
A Divine Comedy about Love after Loss
After the sudden death of his wife, author Bruce Miller sinks into a tailspin of grief. At a loss for rebuilding intimacy in his life, he vows to say yes to everyone who comes his way. Quickly, his grief journey becomes a madcap quest for connection.
Bruce leans on the great sages to guide his journey, but it’s only when he enlists the late Borscht Belt comedian Henny Youngman as his imaginary spirit guide that he realizes, “Your highest work comes from the most absurd places.”
After months of seeking, Bruce discovers what he and his late wife called BONDO, the mythical ingredient for human intimacy.
When he found Kübler-Ross’s stages of grief to be useless for survivors, Bruce sought to write the definitive book on reinvention after loss – one that strikes a balance between pathos and humor, science and mysticism.
Bruce is a professional writer, author, marketer, screenwriter, and student of Eastern and Western spiritual traditions. He is also a Whirling Dervish and the author of “Rumi Comes to America.” In this real-time memoir, Bruce draws from his richly lived spiritual journey to uncover the mysteries of grace, human connection, and eternal love.
