Overview


This is a collection of 100 sunset images that journal author Julie M. Walke's personal journey from grief to peace after receiving the news of the sudden death of her former husband. The images, originally posted to Facebook in 2013-2014, illustrate a universal appreciation of sunsets. This is not a self-help book, rather the author believes that everyone has the capacity to improve their emotional well-being through a renewed appreciation of the natural world and the often forgotten rhythm of nature that coexists simultaneously alongside our daily lives. This story is being shared now because of the millions of people around the world who are grieving or know someone who is. Looking at these sunset images offers readers hours of contemplation through a calming pictorial. This book is dedicated to the celebration of life and the daily renewal that is promised after the sun sets.

Description


Turning to nature I discovered the restorative power of watching a sunset after facing the news of sudden death. I vowed to photograph this experience and my healing process over the course of one year or one hundred sunsets . . . whichever came first. By posting this journey on social media, I discovered a universal appreciation of the setting sun as many people followed, liked, and shared these images with me.
