Welcome to my PWR Author's Page - Della Temple
Author, Teacher, Healer
Della and her husband, David, moved to Rossmoor from Boulder Colorado. She is active in Sustainable Rossmoor and sits on GRF’s Finance Committee.
She writes about melding the worlds of the physical and the metaphysical, combining her love of anything analytical with a wide-ranging interest in quantum physics and the world of energetic healing. She is a certified Reiki Master and has studied clairvoyance and psychic healing at Boulder Psychic Institute.
Della’s latest book, Walking in Grace with Grief Meditations for Healing After Loss, a National Indie Excellence Award Gold Medal winner, combines her personal story of loss with teachings of energy awareness, mindfulness, and conscious living.
When her son died in a solo car accident seven years ago, Della Temple grieved a different kind of grief. She knew deep within her soul that her son's Spirit lived on and she often felt him surrounding her in love and comfort – especially during the first year after his passing. Della accepted this as a natural occurrence and their talks, Spirit to Spirit, became an integral part of her healing journey.
Interwoven among stories of her journey, Della has included some of the healing meditations that made her journey a little less arduous. She says that these meditations have become a standard part of her everyday life, and continue to help her maintain a profound acceptance of life as it is, not as she wishes it might be.
Temple believes it's time to broaden the discussion about death and dying. It may not be necessary to walk the normal stages of grief: from anger, denial, bargaining and depression to the final destination of acceptance. She believes that others too can start at acceptance and stay there throughout their journey of recovery. This might fly in the face of what's considered "normal grieving," but what the author experienced during her period of mourning was an amazing feeling of ease, comfort and nurturing - what she refers to as Grace - that kept her from drowning in the mire of doubt, wishful thinking and regret.
Della has said of her book: "I've come to think that grief is two-fold. It's the painful longing for the physical presence of our loved one and it's the emotional heartache we feel as we disengage from these unfulfilled dreams, the sorrows of what could have been. The stories of a life un-lived."
Walking in Grace with Grief, published by Button Rock Press in May, 2015, is available through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and other booksellers. It is also in circulation at the Rossmoor Library and the Rossmoor Counseling Center.
She is also the author of Tame Your Inner Critic Find Peace & Contentment to Live Your Life on Purpose, a Nautilus Silver Medal winner, published by Llewellyn Worldwide in 2015.
