Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carole-Ann Baer remembers vividly the day her husband, Lee, received the devastating news he had terminal cancer and was given three to five months to live. She wondered how life could go from normal to this? How could their happy, predictable world suddenly be changing most horribly? How would she tell the kids? The family didn't invite cancer in, and now they had a permanent intruder. In Breathing Sorrow, she shares the story of her family's journey through an illness that swallowed their lives and took away a beloved father, husband, son, brother, colleague, and friend. It's a story of emotional chaos and shattered dreams, the story of being broken, being changed, but somehow finding how to live with the most devastating sorrow imaginable. It's a story about pain, loss, and profound grief, yet somewhere embedded in all of these things, it’s a story about hope. Through Baer's personal reflections, Breathing Sorrow captures the emotional turmoil any terminal illness puts upon a family. It narrates the road of despair but also the possibility of healing through heartfelt bits of wisdom. It illustrates the possibility of hope and light.
Download or read book Unattended Sorrow written by Stephen Levine and published by Monkfish Book Publishing. This book was released on 2019-02-26 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wise, compassionate advice from one of the nation's most trusted grief counselors to help heal emotional wounds that prevent us from leading fulfilling lives. Renowned grief counselor Stephen Levine tells us that long after an initial loss has passed and the period of grieving has ended an unattended sorrow lingers, accounting for a host of physical, emotional and spiritual maladies. It is not uncommon then for those with unresolved grief to lean toward addictions or dangerous behaviors or other forms of self-destruction. In Unattended Sorrow, Levine addresses the grief from fresh loss but also attends to the pain and troubles caused by the unresolved anguish, sadness and delayed stress than can accumulate over a lifetime. He notes that we may never entirely overcome sorrows but we can confront them with mercy and self-acceptance that smooths the path to healing the heart. “There is no one better to turn to in times of loss than Stephen Levine. This book is an invaluable tool for anyone recovering from any type of major loss. A must, must read.”—Richard Carlson, Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff “Stephen’s work is magic. His work with the grieving and dying is among the most skillful and compassionate that I am aware of.”—Elizabeth Kubler-Ross

Download or read book Crazy Sorrow written by Vince Passaro and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-09-20 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lyrical novel, spanning four decades in New York City, about a couple torn apart and the lengths to which they will go to be reunited. Vince Passaro’s first novel, 2002’s Violence, Nudity, Adult Content, was a provocative book that explored the darkest human emotions and the traumas of mental illness, sexual assault, and murder. Now, nearly twenty years later, Passaro is back with his follow-up, Crazy Sorrow, a novel that is equally explosive and more grand in scope. The story opens in the shadow of the new World Trade Center, on July 4, 1976, when students George and Anna meet on the weed- and wine-fueled night of the nation’s Bicentennial celebration. George, haunted by his upbringing, instantly falls for the sensual, magnetic Anna. Soon, they couple up, dropping acid, swapping music, exploring the city and each other. Yet their romance is short-lived, and they go their own ways. Passaro chronicles the next four decades, following George and Anna through their various relationships, their sex lives both youthful and mature, their failed marriages, and the travails of parenthood and their careers. Yet as the years go by one thing remains constant: the former lovers wonder what happened to each other. Finally, miraculously, they reconnect as the new century is beginning, only to discover that history itself will have a say in whether they can stay together. Crazy Sorrow is an ambitious examination of the forces that draw people together and drive them apart—yet it also expands beyond the points of view of its characters to capture the movement of time and to reveal a living, breathing New York that is both constantly changing and always familiar. Crazy Sorrow stands as Passaro’s powerful love letter to his characters and to the city that has shaped them.

Book excerpt: In this tale of high-spirited and terrifying adventure, set against the background of the West that Larry McMurtry has made his own, By Sorrow’s River is an epic in its own right with the return of the formidable, young Tasmin Berrybender. At the heart of this third volume of his Western saga remains the beautiful and determined Tasmin Berrybender, now married to the “Sin Killer” and mother to their young son, Monty. By Sorrow’s River continues the Berrybender party’s trail across the endless Great Plains of the West toward Santa Fe, where they intend, those who are lucky enough to survive the journey, to spend the winter. They meet up with a vast array of characters from the history of the West: Kit Carson, the famous scout; Le Partezon, the fearsome Sioux war chief; two aristocratic Frenchmen, whose eccentric aim is to cross the Great Plains by hot air balloon; a party of slavers; a band of raiding Pawnee; and many other astonishing characters who prove, once again, that the rolling, grassy plains are not, in fact, nearly as empty of life as they look. Most of what is there is dangerous and hostile, even when faced with Tasmin’s remarkable, frosty sangfroid. She is one of the strongest and most interesting of Larry McMurtry’s characters, and she stands at the center of this powerful and ambitious novel of the West.

Download or read book Love Sorrow and Joy written by Graham Gillespie and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2010-01-08 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book serves to introduce a young and talented writer to a much wider audience and to situate his work within the more exciting and radical tradition that is the Irish avant-garde. The literary impetus evident in Graham Gillespie’s writing is similar to that of the mystical writers of old, whether Irish or Continental, Christian or Jewish. The beauty of the poetic and philosophic insights explored in this book is something new and fresh in Irish writing. Whether exploring the universal questions that are doubt and hope or stretching the sinews of language in the search for true self-identity and its expression, Gillespie’s art generates a new and profound experience. As with mystics such as Jabes, he has penetrated the silent desert of his own heart; he has bravely ventured into the unknowable, the unconscious, that same place where Merton found the “lush tangle of life and death, full of danger, yet where beautiful things move, the deer, and where there is a spring of sweet water buried.
