"What if we joined our sorrows, I'm saying. I'm saying: What if that is joy?"
— Ross Gay

Joining Our Wildernesses

Joining Our Wildernesses
Liz Tichenor was ordained as a priest at 27. Just a few months before her ordination, Tichenor lost her mother to suicide. A year and a half later, her infant son, just 40 days old, died from a likely curable but misdiagnosed medical condition. Her stunning memoir, "Night Lake: A Young Priest Maps the Topography of Grief," shares a story of finding a way forward through searing tragedies, and slowly learning how to live again. In this moving, personal essay, she speaks to the power of 'joining our wildernesses."
