Polishing the Bones

By Penelope Tarasuk

The true story of an unusually creative woman, Laura, following her life's transformation and individuation, with all its longing, pain, transcendent beauty, love, and life's completion. After the conclusion of her Jungian analysis, Laura becomes terminally ill and is supported by a few intimates including her former analyst, who comes to live with the family to help her die. The intimacy and depth of relationship between the two women, and the foundation of guiding dreams that developed in the analysis, forms a container for an unfolding spiritual journey with numinous experience and sacred visions. We witness the tender care of Laura through and after her death as well as the experience of the author, who undergoes her own transformation through an awe-inspiring initiation into the realm of death itself.
