‘The growth of the spirit is perhaps the most beautiful revelation of God’s love that we are privileged to see, and like all beginnings of life, it is about the secret emergence of something new and vulnerable in the darkness.’ ~ Sheila Cassidy
 
In Sharing the Darkness, Sheila Cassidy – a leading figure of the hospice movement, and survivor, as a young doctor, of torture for daring to give medical care to an opponent of the Pinochet regime in Chile – meditates on the mystery of our wounded humanity, trying to wrest meaning and a spirituality of caring out of the reality of suffering.
