Book Description
The unthinkable has happened. Painful. Crushing. Traumatic. Confusing. Complicated. No chance to say goodbye. No final embrace, kiss, or touch. No opportunity to clear the air, ask and give forgiveness, or make amends. A life gone. The tsunami has come, and now you're left standing amid the aftermath. What do you do? Reach out and grab the hand of multiple award-winning author and grief counselor Gary Roe. Let him walk with you through this uncharted, forbidding territory. You need a companion who can be a source of comfort, perspective, hope, and healing.

Connect with your heart in all the pain, grief, and confusion. Be a companion for you in this unwanted, heart-crushing process that has been thrust upon you. Be a source of comfort, perspective, healing, and peace. Provide practical tools to help you pick up the pieces and begin to rebuild your heart and life. In Aftermath, you can discover how to... Be kind to yourself and patient with yourself during this incredibly hard time. Manage the racing thoughts and volatile emotions that come. Deal with other people and the unhelpful words and weird reactions that come your way. Navigate the tough spiritual issues and faith questions that confront your soul. Grieve in healthy ways that honor the one you lost, take your own heart seriously, and express kindness and compassion to those around you. Abandon the notion of quick fixes, self-medicating relief, and the lying voice of addiction as a way out. Latch onto the truth that no one is beyond repair and that anyone can heal - including you. Use your grief as fuel for good and make this death count by living with more purpose and meaning than ever before. Save lives and become part of the solution to this raging suicide epidemic. You didn't choose this road. You woke up on day and found you were on it. You're left standing in amid the aftermath. But you are not alone. Far from it. Let Aftermath become a understanding companion for you in the days ahead.

Without the shared past that both unites and divides her classmates, Lucy feels isolated and unable to share her family's own loss, which is profoundly different from the trauma of her peers. Lucy clings to her love of math, which provides the absolute answers she craves. But through budding friendships and an after-school mime class, Lucy discovers that while grief can take many shapes and sadness may feel infinite, love is just as powerful.

Book Description
"Usman Khan was convicted of convicted of terrorism-related offenses at age 20, and sent to high security prison. He was released eight years later, and allowed to travel to London for an event marking the fifth anniversary of Learning Together, a prison education program he had participated in. On November 29, 2019, he sat with others at Fishmongers' Hall, some of whom he called friends. Then he went to the restroom to retrieve the things he had hidden there: a fake bomb vest and two knives, which he taped to his wrists. Preti Taneja taught fiction writing in prison for three years. Jack Merritt, 25, who was killed in the attack, oversaw the program; Usman Khan was one of her students. "It is the immediate aftermath," Taneja writes. "'I am living at the centre of a wound still fresh.' The I is not mine, it is ours." In this bold and searching lament by the award-winning author of We That Are Young, Taneja interrogates the language of terror, trauma and grief; the fictions we believe and the voices we exclude. Contending with the pain of unspeakable loss set against public tragedy, Taneja draws on history, memory, and powerful poetic predecessors to contemplate the systemic nature of atrocity. Blurring genre and form, Aftermath is an attempt to regain trust after violence and recapture a politics of hope through a determined dream of abolition"--Publisher's description.

Category : Biography & Autobiography

Pages : 240
Book Description
“Shannon’s struggle, defiance, strength, and power emanate from every page. That kind of brave can be trusted." — Glennon Doyle, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of Untamed and Founder of Together Rising For all women looking to find “hope in a hopeless world and bravery in an age that seems to lack it,” comes a searing memoir by Shannon Dingle, a writer and disability advocate who has navigated loss, trauma, abuse, spiritual reawakening, and deep pain—and come out the other side still hopeful. Shannon Dingle has experienced more than her fair share of tragedy and trauma in her life, including surviving sexual abuse and trafficking as a child that left her with lasting disabilities and experiencing faith shifts that put her at odds with the evangelical church that had been her home. Then, in July 2019, Shannon’s husband was tragically killed by a rogue wave while the family was on vacation. The grief of the aftermath of losing her love and life partner sits at the heart of Living Brave, where Shannon’s searing, raw prose, illustrates what it looks like to take brave steps on the other side of unimaginable loss. Through each challenge, she reveals the ways she learned to walk through them to the other side, and find courage even through the darkest moments. Living Brave gives women permission to wrestle with difficult topics, to use their voice, to take a stand for justice, to honor the wisdom of their bodies, and to enact change from a place of strong faith.
