We live in a grief-illiterate society. After the death of a child we often hear “there are no words.” But there are words. Oil for Your Lantern offers the newly bereaved, and those who love them, a gentle introduction to life after the death of a child, sharing words when we don’t yet have them ourselves. Oil for Your Lantern is a series of thirty essays written by Elizabeth Brady since the sudden death of her son, Mack, from sepsis in 2012. Elizabeth’s essays move both outward and deeply inward, exploring practical, cultural, and spiritual aspects of mourning a beloved child.

Meet Fussy Fusserpants — a little girl who turns every "yes" into "no" and every "blue" into "red"... until she discovers that being friendly beats being fussy! Meet our spirited protagonist, who lives up to her name Fussy Fusserpants in every way possible. If Mom picks blue, she wants red — until Mom agrees, then only blue will do! When spaghetti's for dinner, she insists on macaroni. Even playdates become a carousel of changing demands, leaving her friends puzzled and tired of her contrary ways. But everything changes when a tiny caterpillar crawls into Fussy's world.

She does not drive a spaceship, though, just a minivan. How can I really tell if she is an alien or not? You be the judge!
