A Time Mourn and a Time to Dance

On a beautiful summer day when the Midwest air cleared of humidity and the sun shone brightly and the temperature settled on the thermometer at “just about right,” a river took Tony Rodriguez’ life. It almost took his sons’ lives as well. Sons he shared with author Jennifer Ohman-Rodriguez whose life was also endangered. From the excruciating days immediately following Tony’s death, to navigating the bewildering labyrinth of young widowhood and fully single parenting, to forging life in trauma’s aftermath for herself and her sons, A Time to Mourn & A Time to Dance chronicles Jennifer Ohman-Rodriguez’ story with unabashed honesty and deep vulnerability, blended with authentic faith and teeth-clenching determination to do the hard work of healing. This book is infused with Jennifer’s heartfelt prayers, real-life applications of somatic and spiritual healing practices, and the kind of profound and practical wisdom that only reveals itself when life demands authenticity.
