Published by Project Proactive, this approach is transformative, especially the Parent''s Guide by Trauma Specialist, Esther Goldstein, LCSW. What the Experts Have to Say "Were this book only a fitting tribute to the endearing and vivacious Moussia Zaltzman, OBM, it would be well worth reading and sharing with our children. But beyond that, this book is a game changer. It models the delicate and sensitive process by which we express and share painful realities with ourselves and our children. Groundbreaking, commemorative and therapeutic, this book should be a part of every family and school library." - Dr. Norman N. Blumenthal Zachter Family Chair in Trauma and Crisis Response, OHEL Children''s Home and Family Services "What an amazing way to honor Moussia and to help anyone who is suffering loss, with hope, honesty and the promise of ongoing life." -Dr. Marta Durski, D.Min, RP, RMFT "This book is a masterful guide to dealing with loss. Written by Rebecca Shapiro in Moussia''s voice, we are given a model of how authenticity, honesty, and openness provide a template for keeping a lost relative or friend alive when they are no longer physically present. Grounded in an integration of mental health expertise and faith-based wisdom, the authors share practical guidelines on helping children and families confront loss in an honest and psychologically informed manner. I strongly recommend this book for anybody confronting the challenges brought by life''s inevitable losses." - David Pelcovitz, Ph.D. Straus Chair in Psychology and Education, Azrieli Graduate School, New York "This book will help people of all ages come to terms with grief and loss. Unique in its perspective, "It''s Not Over When We Say Goodbye" addresses the cognitive, emotional and spiritual needs of those who have gone, are going, or will go through the experience of losing a loved one - that is to say, all of us. The story of a little girl''s sudden death is used to show readers how the unbreakable bond of love unites this world and the next, providing deep comfort and solace to the human heart. Although far from a typical "bedtime story," "It''s Not Over When We Say Goodbye" should be read to, and discussed, with every child, as its impactful message will provide enduring support for life''s journey." - Sarah Chana Radcliffe, M.ED.,C.PSYCH Psychologist, lecturer and author of multiple best sellers, including "The Fear Fix" "Western culture''s unrelenting focus on joy and happiness ironically, and insidiously, increases our vulnerability to emotional distress. By contrast, Judaism teaches us how to live with joys and pains, successes and failures, happiness and sadness, and all points in between. This poignant book is a critical resource for parents in supporting children through grief and loss. Its approach is simple, its wisdom immense, and its author has done a great service by making it available to our community." - David H. Rosmarin, PhD Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School, and Founder of Center for Anxiety (New York) "Moussia''s book is a beautiful gift to parents and community members to help initiate, guide and support the sensitive but necessary conversations we need to have with our kids. I am honored to be a part of Project Proactive''s mission to develop critical and current, transformative resources for our community." - Rachel Tuchman, LMHC Clinical Advisor, Project Proactive

Download or read book Adamtine written by Hannah Berry and published by Random House. This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All people could do was speculate on the fate of those who vanished - strangers; seemingly random, unconnected: all plucked from their lives and never seen again. The notes found left behind, apparently describing some slender reason for their removal, were all that linked them. They were all delivered by one man. Rodney Moon had admitted seeing those who had been disappeared and to passing the notes, but denied any involvement beyond that. Who wrote the letters, then? Moon shrugged during the trial: 'It has no name,' he said. 'It's a bogeyman. A monster.' He was not mourned when the vengeful bereft finally found him. Some years later, four strangers; seemingly random, unconnected, all take the last train home. But something each of them has forgotten - or is trying to forget - is catching up with them; with a terrible, inexorable purpose. The devil is in the detail, as they say.

Download or read book The Long Goodbye written by Meghan O'Rourke and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2011-04-14 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Anguished, beautifully written... The Long Goodbye is an elegiac depiction of drama as old as life." -- The New York Times Book Review From one of America's foremost young literary voices, a transcendent portrait of the unbearable anguish of grief and the enduring power of familial love. What does it mean to mourn today, in a culture that has largely set aside rituals that acknowledge grief? After her mother died of cancer at the age of fifty-five, Meghan O'Rourke found that nothing had prepared her for the intensity of her sorrow. In the first anguished days, she began to create a record of her interior life as a mourner, trying to capture the paradox of grief-its monumental agony and microscopic intimacies-an endeavor that ultimately bloomed into a profound look at how caring for her mother during her illness changed and strengthened their bond. O'Rourke's story is one of a life gone off the rails, of how watching her mother's illness-and separating from her husband-left her fundamentally altered. But it is also one of resilience, as she observes her family persevere even in the face of immeasurable loss. With lyricism and unswerving candor, The Long Goodbye conveys the fleeting moments of joy that make up a life, and the way memory can lead us out of the jagged darkness of loss. Effortlessly blending research and reflection, the personal and the universal, it is not only an exceptional memoir, but a necessary one.

But the Founding Elders are splintering, and Pastor's surrogate son DJ is scheming to make it all his own. When two of Eden's newest members send out a cry for help, it reaches FBI Special Agent Tom Hunter, whose friend and fellow FBI Special Agent Gideon Reynolds and his sister, Mercy, are themselves escapees of the Eden cult, targeted by the Founding Elders who want them silenced forever. The three have vowed to find the cult and bring it down, and now, they finally have a solid lead. Neutralizing Eden’s threat will save captive members and ensure Tom’s new friends can live without fear. But when his best friend, ex-Army combat medic Liza Barkley, joins the case, it puts her life—and their blossoming love—in danger.

Download or read book The Paradoxes of Mourning written by Alan D. Wolfelt and published by Companion Press. This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When it comes to healing after the death of someone loved, our culture has it all wrong. We're told to be strong when what we really need is to be vulnerable. We're told to think positive when what we really need is to wallow in the pain. And we're told to seek closure when what we really need is to welcome our natural and necessary grief. Dr. Wolfelt's new book seeks to dispel these misconceptions that we hold on to so tightly and help people everywhere mourn well so they can live fuller lives. The Paradoxes of Mourning discusses three truths that grieving people used to know and respect but in the last century, seem to have forgotten: 1. You must make friends with the darkness before you can enter the light. 2. You must go backward before you can go forward. 3. You must say hello before you can say goodbye. In the tradition of the Four Agreements and the Seven Habits, this compassionate and inspiring guidebook by North America's most beloved grief counselor gives you the three keys that unlock the door to hope and healing.
