Book excerpt: Inside cover When a persons life ends; there is a grieving process for family and friends. The closer your relationship is to the person the longer the grieving. The grieving of your loss doesnt go on forever and the person is not forgotten. From time to time memories of past events will come back. Those memories for the most part are good for you. In my case I am still grieving the loss of my wife. My wife is alive but her life is a long way away from what she or I would want it to be or thought we would have. She is not able to do the many things a grandma would do for her grandchildren. She is not able to do many things for herself, plus, she cant live in her own house with me. Life sucks sometimes. Many people have a tragedy happen in their lives. For me, in my situation, what could I do? I only had two choices. I could stay and deal with the problems and frustrations of being a husband/caregiver or I could leave. I chose to stay! What choice did I have really? My wife needed me and I needed to honor and fulfill those marriage vows I took so long ago.

Book excerpt: Frozen Greif is a telling true story of personal tragedies, which challenged the author's faith. After learning her younger sister age 40, her nephew, and his friend are missing on her nephew's 7th birthday, Karen recounts the shocking heartbreak, which changed her life evermore on that frozen February night in the Midwest. Her dynamic story leads you through a time of intense crisis with an unwillingness to accept the conventional grieving process and the reality of society's rejection of the enormity of sibling loss. During her emotionally distressed time, the author pleads to be filled with peace from a seemingly silent God. In the midst of her enduring sorrow and frozen faith, her grief begins to thaw, her conviction is restored and slowly she begins to heal. The intense heartbreak she experiences slowly melts as she allows herself to accept her deep loss and make a changed life to impact a world without her loved ones. A must read for grievers of loved ones suddenly lost. In addition, those challenging their religious beliefs and searching for their faith would be encouraged by the author's faith testimony.

Book excerpt: How do we begin to cope with loss that cannot be resolved? The COVID-19 pandemic has left many of us haunted by feelings of anxiety, despair, and even anger. In this book, pioneering therapist Pauline Boss identifies these vague feelings of distress as caused by ambiguous loss, losses that remain unclear and hard to pin down, and thus have no closure. Collectively the world is grieving as the pandemic continues to change our everyday lives. With a loss of trust in the world as a safe place, a loss of certainty about health care, education, employment, lingering anxieties plague many of us, even as parts of the world are opening back up again. Yet after so much loss, our search must be for a sense of meaning, and not something as elusive and impossible as "closure." This book provides many strategies for coping: encouraging us to increase our tolerance of ambiguity and acknowledging our resilience as we express a normal grief, and still look to the future with hope and possibility.
