Book excerpt: On a mid-October evening, a group of fathers gathered around a conference table and met each other for the first time. None of the men had ever thought of himself a "support group kind of guy" and each felt entirely out of place. In fact, nothing about their lives felt normal anymore. The Group: Seven Widowed Fathers Reimagine Life chronicles the challenges and triumphs of seven men whose wives died from cancer and were left to raise their young children entirely on their own. Brought together by tragedy, the fathers - Neill, Dan, Bruce, Karl, Joe, Steve, and Russ - forged an uncommon bond. Over time, group meetings evolved into a forum for reinvention and transformed the men in unexpected ways. Through the fathers' poignant interactions, The Group illustrates that while some wounds never fully heal, each of us has the potential to construct a new and meaningful future. Rosenstein and Yopp, co-leaders of the support group, weave together the fathers' stories with contemporary research on grief and adaptation. The Group traces a compelling journey of healing and personal discovery that no book has ever captured before. The men's touching efforts to care for their families, grieve for their wives, and reimagine their futures will inspire anyone who has suffered a major loss.

Presenting herself as "Myrtle," Bevann Fox recounts her early childhood filled with love and warmth on the First Nation reservation with her grandparents. At the age of seven she was sent to residential school, and her horrific experiences of abuse there left her without a voice, timid and nervous, never sure, never trusting, and always searching. This is the story of Myrtle battling to recover her voice. This is the story of her courage and resilience throughout the arduous process required to make a claim for compensation for the abuse she experienced at residential school--a process that turned out to be yet another trauma at the hands of the colonial power. This is the story of one woman finally standing up to the painful truth of her past and moving beyond it for the sake of her children and grandchildren. In recounting her tumultuous life, Fox weaves truth and fiction together as a means of bringing clarity to the complex emotions and situations she faced as she walked her path toward healing.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A powerful memoir of a love that leads two people to find a courageous way to part—and a woman’s struggle to go forward in the face of loss—that “enriches the reader’s life with urgency and gratitude” (The Washington Post) “A pleasure to read . . . Rarely has a memoir about death been so full of life. . . . Bloom has a talent for mixing the prosaic and profound, the slapstick and the serious.”—USA Today ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: NPR Amy Bloom began to notice changes in her husband, Brian: He retired early from a new job he loved; he withdrew from close friendships; he talked mostly about the past. Suddenly, it seemed there was a glass wall between them, and their long walks and talks stopped. Their world was altered forever when an MRI confirmed what they could no longer ignore: Brian had Alzheimer’s disease. Forced to confront the truth of the diagnosis and its impact on the future he had envisioned, Brian was determined to die on his feet, not live on his knees. Supporting each other in their last journey together, Brian and Amy made the unimaginably difficult and painful decision to go to Dignitas, an organization based in Switzerland that empowers a person to end their own life with dignity and peace. In this heartbreaking and surprising memoir, Bloom sheds light on a part of life we so often shy away from discussing—its ending. Written in Bloom’s captivating, insightful voice and with her trademark wit and candor, In Love is an unforgettable portrait of a beautiful marriage, and a boundary-defying love.

Download or read book Why You Will Marry the Wrong Person written by The School of Life and published by School of Life Press. This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of essays extended from The New York Times' most-read article of 2016. Anyone we might marry could, of course, be a little bit wrong for us. We don’t expect bliss every day. The fault isn’t entirely our own; it has to do with the devilish truth that anyone we’re liable to meet is going to be rather wrong, in some fascinating way or another, because this is simply what all humans happen to be – including, sadly, ourselves. This collection of essays proposes that we don’t need perfection to be happy. So long as we enter our relationships in the right spirit, we have every chance of coping well enough with, and even delighting in, the inevitable and distinctive wrongness that lies in ourselves and our beloveds.
Download or read book Love After Life written by William Murray and published by . This book was released on 2019-12 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love After Life first describes their relationship and the situation William found himself in after Irene passed away, then goes directly into what he calls "the process," a short list of easy affirmation-style techniques. He credits this process - along with Irene's help from the other side and a few supportive books on the afterlife - with moving him through a rather dramatic transformation from broken and despairing to a having that real sense, once again, of being whole and fulfilled with his soul-mate."For those of us who cannot move on from a relationship but rather must move forward with them, somehow, after they die, perhaps this book can help," Murray says. "Letting go of pain in this situation can be very scary when you feel it's your only connection to the person that matters the most to you, the person that makes you feel whole and complete. Even while it was destroying me, I felt like that pain was my connection to her, my tribute to our love, and the idea of letting it go felt worse than having it."The only way I was able to gradually move past the grief was to also gradually become aware of her presence and her efforts to reconnect with me. As this connection grew, my grief and my reasons for wanting to hold on to that pain slowly dissipated. What has now actually come to pass from the process I describe in Love After Life, just seven months after she crossed over, is something I could not believe possible in my time of grief."At best, I had hoped to maybe achieve a manageable pain I could live through for the rest of my life. I never expected to achieve a state of joy, happiness and, in some ways, an even better, more intimate relationship with my wife. We accomplished this without the use of any mediums or any daunting activities like out-of-body or near death experiences - just reading, keeping a journal, and faithfully employing the affirmation and intention techniques described in the book."This is not a 'fake it until you make it' system," Murray explains. "This is a process of tuning out of your grief frequency/vibration and tuning in to the frequency/vibration of your loved one on the other side. It is my view that this process moves you away from the pain state and back into the loving and joyful state you share with your loved one, making real contact and communication between the two of you easier, more natural and more frequent."
