When you have just lost a loved one, recovery will be the last thing on your mind. The possibility of finding joy in life again, enjoying the simple pleasures that life brings, moving on, and focusing on work and your ambitions will sound impossible and maybe even cruel. You may feel like suffering through the rest of your life if only to pay the price for your living while a loved one is dead. You may even stop eating well or taking care of yourself, just to find a way to speed up the process of going to join them in death. Yet you need to recover and move on. Following the path of recovery can lead to personal growth, excellence, and after a while, you will find yourself being happy again. Loss and its attendant emotions will change you. Things can never be the same way it was before you suffered a loss, but rather than allow it take you down the downward spiral of depression and coping with drugs, you can make a decision to use it to enhance your personal growth. It is possible for the process of recovering from a loss to lead to more happiness. This is because experiencing a loss gives us a new appreciation for the things we've always taken for granted. The bite of wind that used to be an inconvenience becomes an affirmation of life; you begin to take time to smell the roses (literally) and enjoy the scents of life. This book provides an ultimate guide for recovery— a short note for developing hope amidst the emptiness.

Book Description
It is perfectly normal to be alone and feel lonely, and then be with someone and still feel the same way. The difference between being alone and lonely, and being in a relationship and lonely is very clear. Aloneness is intentional, where we might be at ease and fulfilled, but loneliness is a helpless situation.

It has been reported that loneliness disrupts the regulation of cellular processes deep in the body, exposing us to premature aging. Loneliness in a relationship can cause depression, and render you unhappy for a very long time. Although you might appear fulfilled and satisfied, something is dying inside you. The good news is, loneliness in a relationship can be controlled and adjusted once you follow a predetermined strategy. This book is a quick guide to help you overcome loneliness in a relationship and build emotional intimacy.

Languages : en
Pages : 553
Book Description
This National Book Award finalist is a revealing and beautifully written memoir and family history from acclaimed photographer Sally Mann. In this groundbreaking book, a unique interplay of narrative and image, Mann's preoccupation with family, race, mortality, and the storied landscape of the American South are revealed as almost genetically predetermined, written into her DNA by the family history that precedes her. Sorting through boxes of family papers and yellowed photographs she finds more than she bargained for: "deceit and scandal, alcohol, domestic abuse, car crashes, bogeymen, clandestine affairs, dearly loved and disputed family land . . . racial complications, vast sums of money made and lost, the return of the prodigal son, and maybe even bloody murder." In lyrical prose and startlingly revealing photographs, she crafts a totally original form of personal history that has the page-turning drama of a great novel but is firmly rooted in the fertile soil of her own life.
