Download or read book Sorrow s Company written by Dewitt Henry and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2001-09-16 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, DeWitt Henry has collected some of the finest contemporary writing about loss and the grieving process, essays that explore emotional trauma in finely crafted prose. Debra Spark recounts her sister's death and reflects on all of the ideas that have helped her come to terms with grief. William Gibson writes eloquently of his mother's passing with a new understanding of the cycles of life. Andre Dubus describes the terrible loss of mobility he suffered in a freak accident, and what his pain and disability taught him about the human will. Transported back to her native Antigua and to all the complexities of a difficult childhood, Jamaica Kincaid confronts her brother's ostracism and death from AIDS. All of the pieces reflect, in some aspect, the tenacity, the strength to go forward and to love, that has informed these life journeys andthe resolve that "what matters is not what becomes of us, but what we become." This collection offers a unique perspective on loss, a depth of insight and compassion that only such masterful writers could summon.

Download or read book Give Sorrow Words written by John H. Harvey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-23 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout our lives, we are influenced by the sensation of loss. Whether implicit or obvious, the impact of this sense of loss affects our daily thinking and behavior. This new text provides a comprehensive introduction to the study of loss via exploration into three major types of loss: loss of important relationships (divorce or perhaps the dissolution of important relationships and friendships); losses that damage who we are, our self-esteem (loss of employment); and losses resulting from victimization (being the target of violence or prejudice; loss of home in a natural disaster). Students of sociology, theology, and family studies will find this text of key interest. Moreover, professionals in these fields, including the fields of trauma and loss, will appreciate the thorough literature review, practical language, clinical interventions, and case highlights.
Download or read book By Sorrow s River written by Larry McMurtry and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 Breathing Sorrow written by Carole-Ann Baer and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2024-10-31 with total page 92 pages. 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 Miss Grief and Other Stories written by Constance Fenimore Woolson and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2016-02-29 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To celebrate her forthcoming biography of Constance Fenimore Woolson, Anne Boyd Rioux has selected the best of this classic writer’s stories. Constance Fenimore Woolson (1840–1894) was one of the few nineteenth-century women writers considered the equal of her male peers. Harper & Brothers was so enamored of her work that the firm agreed to publish whatever she could write. In this gathering, Rioux has chosen fiction over the course of Woolson’s life, including “In Sloane Street,” never published since it first appeared in Harper’s Bazaar. Woolson’s stories travel from the rural Midwest to the deep South and then across the Atlantic to Italy and England. Her strong characters and indelible settings provide continuity throughout this collection as do her concerns with passion, creativity, imagination, and the demands of society. Whether portraying the keeper of a Union soldiers’ cemetery in the defeated South, a woman writer whose genius goes unrecognized, or the ex-pat denizens of Florence, Woolson’s deft characterization and subtlety create a broad landscape of Americans and their ways no matter where they lived.

Download or read book One for Sorrow written by Alan Hargrave and published by SPCK. This book was released on 2017-07-20 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One for Sorrow relates the story of the loss of 21-year-old Tom to cancer, and how his family lived through the aftermath. When Alan began writing the memoir, he believed it would be about his son’s illness and death. He soon realized, however, that he was recording his own painful journey through the ‘valley of the shadow’, as a father and as someone responsible for ministering to others in similar situations. His core beliefs were challenged and his perspective on life changed. Now retired, Alan is passionate about the capacity we all have to grow through adversity and, like our crucified God, rise up from pain and death to live and love and laugh again. Praise for the author’s Living Well: ‘Quick! Go out and buy this book! If you are a vicar, buy a dozen, and give them away. If the Church were served by more books like this, we would all be the better.’ Church Times and An Almighty Passion: ‘With strong echoes of the BBC2 series Rev, this work too demonstrates in equal measure the struggles and rewards of faith . . . incredibly moving and authentic.’ Life + Work
