In Witnessing Ted, Carol Poteat travels to New Mexico’s Golden Willow Retreat, founded by Ted Wiard and his wife, Marcella. Carol’s mission is to witness Ted’s personal account of how he journeyed from loss to recovery following the death of his first wife, brother, two children and mother-in-law. In this intense and compassionate story, we gradually discover the power of conscious healing. Through short vignettes, readers experience the raw, unintellectualized emotion of Ted's losses, which gives them permission to work through their own grief. Poignant photographs and quotes further encourage and inspire the individual's journey to healing, while the keys to understanding and working through grief, revealed through the author's own story, illuminate the path. Witnessing Ted undoubtedly transcends other works that deal with the subject of loss. The grief cycle is said to comprise of five stages: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance, but this book takes readers through a sixth aspect, relocation, where they will experience a renewed sense of purpose.
