McGuire, Bob: - Through his insightful writing, Bob McGuire takes the reader on his pilgrimage through intense grief into new life, love, and faith-from the physical world to the inner emotional dimension, and to the often camouflaged spiritual realm. He graduated from a California university in 1980 and went on to careers in the fields of energy production and information technology. Since childhood, he felt a connection with nature and the outdoors, so when grief invaded his life at 60 years old, he was drawn to walk the Camino de Santiago as one part of a multifaceted healing process. Grief also cracked open his lifelong hobby of personal journal writing into a more focused endeavor in the hope that his story will be helpful to those who find themselves in a similar struggle. He and his wife live in Southern California where they enjoy family, friends, and living life, grateful for the blessing of every single day.
