Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Losing a loved one--whether a spouse, parent, child, sibling, or friend--leaves people feeling overwhelmed and hopeless. Holidays and other special occasions seem to intensify the pain. Whether the occasion is Christmas or Easter, a birthday or anniversary, these celebrations force the bereaved to again face the reality of a loved one's absence. Susan Zonnebelt-Smeenge and Robert C. De Vries know firsthand the sorrow of bereavement: Both lost a spouse. Yet as they faced their pain and gleaned insights from their professions--Susan is a psychologist, Robert, a minister--they found renewed richness on special days that once brought heartache. In The Empty Chair, the authors share a comforting blend of emotional support, spiritual guidance, and personal experience to help readers honor their loved one on important days. Those who support the bereaved--mental-health professionals, pastors, funeral home staff, and others--will also appreciate this book for its reflective yet practical approach.

Download or read book The Empty Chair written by Bruce Wagner and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2013-12-17 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Composed of two companion novellas, The Empty Chair is a profound, heart-wrenching piece of spiritual storytelling from Bruce Wagner, the internationally acclaimed author of such novels as Dead Stars, I’m Losing You and Force Majeure. In First Guru, a fictional Wagner narrates the tale of a Buddhist living in Big Sur, who achieves enlightenment in the horrific aftermath of his child’s suicide. In Second Guru, Queenie, an aging wild child, returns to India to complete the spiritual journey of her youth. Told in ravaged, sensuous detail to the author-narrator by two strangers on opposite sides of the country, years apart from each other, both stories illuminate the random, chaotic nature of human suffering and the miraculous strength of the human spirit. A deeply affecting and meditative reading experience, The Empty Chair is an exquisitely rendered, thought-provoking, and humbling new work.

Download or read book Liu Xiaobo s Empty Chair written by Perry Link and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2011-05-10 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the Norwegian Nobel Committee announced it was awarding the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize to the Chinese literary critic and human rights activist Liu Xiaobo, it made special note of his role in writing a remarkable political manifesto called Charter 08. In China, that same document has caused officials to throw him in jail with an 11-year sentence that is extraordinary even by Chinese standards, while taking drastic measures to silence any mention of the text. But what is Charter 08 and why has it made Liu such a threat to the Chinese government? Perry Link, a Professor of Chinese literature who has worked closely with the Chinese dissidents who wrote the charter with Liu, for the first time brings together a full English translation of this powerful document and an incisive new profile of Liu himself with a series of short essays chronicling his arrest, show-trial, and imprisonment and the crackdown on the Charter 08 movement since its courageous beginnings two years ago. In an epilogue, Link draws on leaked government documents to reveal Beijing's nervous response to the Arab uprisings in the spring of 2011.
Download or read book Quiet Defiance written by Karleen Grummett and published by . This book was released on 2016-08-31 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After Japan bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, people of Japanese ancestry living on America's West Coast, including Alaska, were forcibly removed from their homes and jailed in detention camps. Understanding the scope of Japanese treatment during World War II requires acknowledging the unique and personal experiences of Japanese Americans, which have rarely included those living in Alaska. This book begins to rectify that omission by looking at the Japanese community of Juneau, Alaska when it was a small, tightly knit and remote community accessible only by boat. The story revolves around a key event involving John Tanaka, a senior and designated class valedictorian. Before he and his family were shipped out of Juneau, a special assembly was held at the Juneau High School where John received an early diploma. However, later at the actual graduation ceremony, in an act of quiet defiance, his chair was left empty to express the void and injustice felt by the community for him and other missing friends and neighbors.What unfolds is an account of how Japanese Americans living in Juneau between 1941 and 1951 reacted to their forced removal from Juneau in 1942, and how their spirit and resolve helped them live during their imprisonment and renewed their lives following it. The story also shows how the Juneau community's cross-cultural ties and friendships rallied support for their missing friends during and after incarceration, which led to a quest for justice over 70 years later.

Book excerpt: The new novel from the award-winning author of Breakfast with Buddha and Revere Beach Boulevard tells the story of a young Catholic woman jolted from a quietly devout life in pursuit of a mysterious calling. Cynthia Piantedosi lives a quiet, unassuming life outside of Boston, guided by her Catholic faith. When she loses her beloved grandmother, she begins experiencing “spells” of such intense spiritual intimacy that she wonders about her sanity. Devoted to her elderly father and not particularly interested in dating and socializing, she develops a deep friendship with her parish priest. His congregation sees him as provocative and radical, but he encourages Cynthia to explore her faith—however it presents itself. When he is killed in a mysterious accident, a message begins to emerge from Cynthia’s prayers: God is calling her to be the first female Catholic priest. Her revelation is met with ridicule by certain of the more reactionary officials she reaches out to within the Church. Unable to tune out the divine messages, she lets the power of unswerving faith drive her all the way to the Vatican in pursuit of a destiny she doesn’t fully understand—and a turn of events that will inevitably bring long overdue change to the Catholic Church. From the Hardcover edition.

Download or read book An Empty Chair written by Sara Swan Miller and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000-05-20 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At least 30,000 people kill themselves in the United States alone, most leaving behind shocked siblings. Yet, too often, the grief and bewilderment of surviving siblings is simply ignored, leaving the bereaved siblings feeling even more abandoned. The accounts of siblings' experiences in this book are based on interviews with more than thirty people from all over the United States, as well as the author's own experience of losing a sister to suicide. Just as sibling relationships are varied and complex, so the feelings and experiences of sibling suicide survivors run a long and complex gamut from deep grief, to anger, to guilt, to relief. Often these feelings are intermixed. The survivors are often bewildered by the complexity of their feelings, including reactions that may seem shameful or inappropriate. These moving accounts will help other sibling survivors of sibling suicide see that they are not alone. No matter what their feeilngs and reactions are, there are others who have shared them.
Download or read book As If the Empty Chair written by Margaret Randall and published by Wings Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These twelve exquisite poems depict, with razor-precise clarity, the realities of the "disappeared" in Latin America and the emotional devastation of the families left behind. As human beings, we can find the strength to bury our dead, grieve for them always, and yet somehow move on. Not so with our disappeared loved ones: every moment is filled with the horror of what they must be suffering in some secret torture cell. We never escape from their screams, and we never stop trying to find them. As Margaret Randall so vividly writes, "We cannot move on, for where would they find us when they stumble home?" Estos doce poemas exquisitos representan, con claridad precisa, las realidades de los “desaparecidos” en América Latina y la devastación emocional de las familias que se quedan atrás. Como humanos, podemos encontrar la fuerza para enterrar los muertos, llorar a ellos para siempre y de algún modo proseguir. Pero ésta no es la realidad de la situación de los desaparecidos: cada momento se llena con el horror de lo que sin duda sufren ellos en celdas secretas de tortura. Nunca podemos escapar de sus gritos, pero tampoco podemos parar la búsqueda de ellos. Escribe Margaret Randall, "No podemos seguir adelante; ¿dónde nos encontrarían cuando regresen en casa?"
