Unveiling Heartbreak and Hope: Elizabeth Gilbert’s Journey ‘All the Way to the River’ Redefines Love and Liberation
One of the most compelling aspects of the memoir is its spiritual throughline. Gilbert writes about being visited by the ghost of her partner, Raya, with an openness that avoids sensationalism. She reflects on the idea of “Earth School,” a belief that souls choose their incarnation and relationships before entering this life, a concept rooted in shamanic and metaphysical traditions. For me, these reflections added a mystical, haunted layer to the memoir. Others may view them with disbelief, but they didn’t feel performative or forced. They felt like someone trying to stay in conversation with the mystery of life and death.
