Review: After his 2-year-old daughter died, a father turned his pain into a beautiful memoir
By Heller McAlpin May 8 at 11:53 AM Four years ago, a horrible accident shook my Upper West Side Manhattan neighborhood: A toddler sitting with her grandmother on a sidewalk bench was hit on the head by masonry that fell from an eighth-floor windowsill. The injury was fatal.
The book’s title, from Dante’s “Inferno,” tips us off that Greta’s bereft parents will, in the poet’s words, “get back up to the shining world.” But “Once More We Saw Stars,” an outgrowth of a journal Greene began shortly after the accident, is a chronological account, which means there’s unthinkable pain before the arduous “path toward healing.”
At the park, he also begins to sense an “opening” that will somehow reconnect him with Greta. He and Stacy are forever on the hunt for such openings — partings in “the curtain separating us from her spirit.” In the absence of ties to any formal religion, they practice yoga religiously, the couple head to the Kripalu Institute in Stockbridge, Mass., for a workshop called “From Grieving to Believing,” and attend a local grief group.
