Download or read book I Survived the First Half of My Life written by Lucynda and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-01-19 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in a small town in New Hampshire, Lucynda had a dream. All she ever wanted in life was a little house with a white picket fence, four kids, and to live happily ever after. She married her childhood sweetheart at age nineteen, three weeks before he was to leave for Vietnam. This book takes the reader down Lucynda’s long and very rocky journey of divorce, raising a child with his own personal challenges, coming very close to committing suicide, the bar scene, and many very bad choices in men. Then on to a second marriage that also fails, but not until after encountering a stepchild with many emotional problems, an extremely volatile relationship of being emotionally and sexually abused; to finally experiencing personal growth, peace, and a relationship with God. This book will make you cry, make you laugh, and hopefully help you to realize that you don’t have to stay in a bad relationship; that there is hope for anyone who thinks they can’t get out; and that you will hopefully learn from her mistakes.
Download or read book Finding Meaning in the Second Half of Life written by James Hollis and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2005-05-05 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it really mean to be a grown up in today’s world? We assume that once we “get it together” with the right job, marry the right person, have children, and buy a home, all is settled and well. But adulthood presents varying levels of growth, and is rarely the respite of stability we expected. Turbulent emotional shifts can take place anywhere between the age of thirty-five and seventy when we question the choices we’ve made, realize our limitations, and feel stuck—commonly known as the “midlife crisis.” Jungian psycho-analyst James Hollis believes it is only in the second half of life that we can truly come to know who we are and thus create a life that has meaning. In Finding Meaning in the Second Half of Life, Hollis explores the ways we can grow and evolve to fully become ourselves when the traditional roles of adulthood aren’t quite working for us, revealing a new way of uncovering and embracing our authentic selves. Offering wisdom to anyone facing a career that no longer seems fulfilling, a long-term relationship that has shifted, or family transitions that raise issues of aging and mortality, Finding Meaning in the Second Half of Life provides a reassuring message and a crucial bridge across this critical passage of adult development.
Download or read book Grieving Parents written by Kat Biggie Press and published by Kat Biggie Press. This book was released on 2014-09-28 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is not about one story of loss or one grief therapy approach. This book contains exactly what grieving couples have asked for: what they wanted to know in exactly your situation; what they have mentioned and pointed out they would need or would have needed in that horrendous time of loss. Books written by bereaved parents often follow the formula: "My life was beautiful, then my child or baby died and then my life was never the same again. I had to write a book about it." These books are usually self-therapy, rather than a way to help others. Books by therapists often talk about their work from a theoretical basis that lacks personal experience. They discuss people who experience complicated or chronic grief as opposed to encouraging the resilience that lies within each and every one of us. I have experienced the loss of a child and I am a grief therapist, but this book is not a memoir about my loss. Neither is it just a book written from the perspective of a therapist having worked with countless clients experiencing loss. This book focuses on the effect parental bereavement has on the parents and their relationship. It is about surviving loss as a couple and the re-emerging from grief into a life of joy and melancholy, laughter and tears, happiness and sadness. Not either/or but BOTH/AND. This book will, teach you understanding and acceptance of the grieving process each and everyone chooses. In a relationship, each partner is equally responsible to take part in sailing the ship together. Surviving Loss as a Couple is about how you can re-emerge from this crazy ride through the darkness of grief with renewed depth and understanding with your partner. This book is based on bereaved parents' needs, challenges and what they said has helped them, based on a worldwide survey I have conducted. It contains detailed descriptions of what has helped eighteen individuals and couples that I have interviewed, couples in varying situations and at different stages of their journey with grief.
Download or read book Life With Destiny written by Maurice Nachtigal and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2022-07-17 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a review of my life done with the purpose of understanding why it went the way it did. What I learned is that the major goals of my life were set up by an authority which I called destiny. This authority conducted events along pathways that led to the fulfilment of those goals. These events were either causal determined or were synchronized and were set up by destiny which seemed to be devoid of human feelings. The overwhelming intervention of destiny in life does not exclude the potential use of free will but it was not apparent that that will improve the outcome.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 New York Times Bestseller “Funny and smart as hell” (Bill Gates), Allie Brosh’s Hyperbole and a Half showcases her unique voice, leaping wit, and her ability to capture complex emotions with deceptively simple illustrations. FROM THE PUBLISHER: Every time Allie Brosh posts something new on her hugely popular blog Hyperbole and a Half the internet rejoices. This full-color, beautifully illustrated edition features more than fifty percent new content, with ten never-before-seen essays and one wholly revised and expanded piece as well as classics from the website like, “The God of Cake,” “Dogs Don’t Understand Basic Concepts Like Moving,” and her astonishing, “Adventures in Depression,” and “Depression Part Two,” which have been hailed as some of the most insightful meditations on the disease ever written. Brosh’s debut marks the launch of a major new American humorist who will surely make even the biggest scrooge or snob laugh. We dare you not to. FROM THE AUTHOR: This is a book I wrote. Because I wrote it, I had to figure out what to put on the back cover to explain what it is. I tried to write a long, third-person summary that would imply how great the book is and also sound vaguely authoritative—like maybe someone who isn’t me wrote it—but I soon discovered that I’m not sneaky enough to pull it off convincingly. So I decided to just make a list of things that are in the book: Pictures Words Stories about things that happened to me Stories about things that happened to other people because of me Eight billion dollars* Stories about dogs The secret to eternal happiness* *These are lies. Perhaps I have underestimated my sneakiness!
