CNA938 Rewind - Grief & the Camino Way - Alexander Ee's Book "A Glimpse of Heaven”
In ‘Made in SG’, Melanie Oliveiro speaks with Singaporean author Alexander Ee about his book "A Glimpse of Heaven: Grief, Self and Community on the Camino”. It documents Ee’s journey through grief and acceptance after he lost his wife to cancer in 2019. It’s also about his two-month, 925-kilometre trek on the Camino de Santiago – a thousand-year-old pilgrimage route that is a network of walking paths across Europe, culminating in Santiago de Compostela in Spain. Ee will discuss how the book highlights reconciling the pain of loss, reveals one’s purpose in this world, and teaches readers the power of gratitude as well as the necessity of forgiveness.
