When Sandra Shackelford heard this plea, she embarked on a decades-long project to preserve and dignify the loves, losses, and customs of the Hmong people who began immigrating to Green Bay, Wisconsin in the 1970s. In this unique collection of interviews, photographs, and folktales, Shackelford- along with interpreter May Lee Lor and translator Ma Lee Lor-captures the words of Hmong people who fled their homes to escape The Secret War in Laos. Many trekked through jungles without food, water, or shelter. Many lost family members along the way. All struggled to survive and sustain their traditions. Intimate and compelling, this historic collection gives words to the grief Hmong refugees carried as they resettled in America- and the courage they found to persevere.

Author David W. Ingram met his future wife, Kimberly, when she sixteen years old. When he was seventeen, Ingram convinced her to date him. They eventually married and lived a loving life together for thirty years. It all came crashing down when Kimberly was diagnosed with colon cancer and waged a battle against it for four years. In The Courage to Grieve, Ingram narrates his personal story through grief as he learns to live without his beloved wife. It delves into the mind and emotions of a newly grieving spouse and follows him for the first year afterward. This memoir describes an undying love and devotion during four years of suffering, then the aftermath left behind after the death of a beloved spouse. The Courage to Grieve tells how Ingram drew on his faith in God to choose to survive or give in to his overwhelming sorrow. Written during a years time, it offers a sense of hope and recovery for others facing the grieving process.

Portraits of Battle brings together biography, battle accounts, and historiographical analysis to examine the lives of a cross-section of Canadians who served in the First World War. All Canadians are taught about Vimy Ridge, but that celebrated victory was just one battle among many to shape the country’s experience of the war. These portraits of the formerly faceless men and women honoured on war memorials provide a fresh and nuanced perspective on the complex legacy of the Great War in Canadian history.

This unusual self-help book about surviving grief offers the reader comfort and inspiration. Each of us will face some loss, sorrow and disappointment in our lives, and The Courage to Grieve provides the specific help we need to enable us to face our grief fully and to recover and grow from the experience. Although the book emphasizes the response to the death of a loved one, The Courage to Grieve can help with every kind of loss and grief. Judy Tatelbaum gives us a fresh look at understanding grief, showing us that grief is a natural, inevitable human experience, including all the unexpected, intense and uncomfortable emotions like sorrow, guilt, loneliness, resentment, confusion, or even the temporary loss of the will to live. The emphasis is to clarify and offer help, and the tone is spiritual, optimistic, creative and easy to understand. Judy Tatelbaum provides excellent advice on how to help oneself and others get through the immediate experience of death and the grief that follows, as well as how to understand the special grief of children. Particularly useful are the techniques for completing or "finishing" grief--counteracting the popular misconception that grief never ends. The Courage to Grieve shows us how to live life with the ultimate courage: not fearing death. This book is about so much more than death and grieving it is about life and joy and growth.

After You written by Natascha McElhone and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2010 with Husbands categories.
Natascha McElhone, star of The Truman Showand Californication, was filming in LA, seven months pregnant with her third child with her other two young children playing in the gym across the road when she got a call from a friend that would change her life forever. Her husband, Martin, the love of her life and father to her delightful children and an apparently healthy man in his early 40s had died suddenly of a heart attack. In the weeks and months that followed the devastating shock Natascha continued to write her diary and letters to Martin (something she had always done as, due to her work, she was used to being far from home). They were letters of love, letters about their gorgeous boys, letters about the birth of the new baby and diary entries detailing the mundane and heartbreaking details of her new life- house repairs and terrifying family finances; trying to keep the children's lives as normal as possible in the face of such abnormal new circumstances. The result is a powerful, honest and moving story of a magical love affair and all-consuming grief, of being a mother alone and trying to live for the future. 'Her lyrical, fluid prose hits the spot with such precision it can leave you wincing with pain . . . After You is an extremely moving account of loss and loneliness. But in writing about the acuteness of her grief, McElhone also pays tribute to the power of survival. In the end she is saved by the unstoppable force of her love- both for the husband who died too early and for the sons who live on in his memory.' Elizabeth Day Observer 'Honesty is a much overrated quality when it comes to the revelation of private feelings. Separated from self-knowledge, confession simply feeds an appetite for sensation. But McElhone's little book, though painfully honest, is far more than a simple diary of bereavement. Written with remarkable wisdom, grace and courage, it is a portrait of a woman fighting to reconcile death with life, and managing to do exactly that. How proud her husband would have been.'

How do we talk about climate grief in the church? And when we have found the words, what do we do with that grief? There is a sudden and dramatic rise in people experiencing a profound sense of anxiety in the face of our dying planet, and a consequent need for churches to be better resourced pastorally and theologically to deal with this threat.
