Book Description
When your entire world is shattered due to extreme loss, the only thing you can hold on to now is your memories. You look for connectivity and alignment with others through your grieving process. Having experienced grief at the age of sixteen when her father passed due to an unexpected heart aneurysm, Teeanna Isaac began to question her purpose in life itself. She struggled with many mental health issues, from depression to anxiety, and frequently journaled her nine-year battle with grief. In Why I Had to Lose, Teeanna Isaac offers the bereaved compassion and shares the healing experiences that catapulted her into a life of self-discovery. With a profound approach to learning about oneself to bear the unbearable aspect of loss, Isaac writes from a deep understanding as she touches on subjects of depression and suicidal thoughts and even offers advice from her mother in a segment entitled Widow to Widow. In this compelling and heartfelt book, you'll learn: That grief isn't cyclical, and there may not be some exact stages that you have to achieve to find joy again. All about the intimate engagement of love and melancholy - and how to use this in your journey of self-discovery. How grief can cause damage to one's sense of self and tips on how to not fall into bad habits. Practical advice for managing mental health issues- with stories from her mother and siblings nine years past their first day of grieving. How to help the grieving and ways to be there for the bereaved without bombarding or crowding their physical or mental spaces. We are all faced with significant loss, in our post-pandemic world where death riddled the globe, we all need time to grieve. Why I Had To Lose offers research, tips, and personal stories plucked from her diaries. In this eloquent tribute to her father, Isaac offers a unique guide through an experience we all must face and compassion for those who don't understand how to help the bereaved.
All Our Names

Pages : 244
Book Description
From acclaimed author Dinaw Mengestu, a recipient of the National Book Foundation’s 5 Under 35 award, The New Yorker’s 20 Under 40 award, and a 2012 MacArthur Foundation genius grant, comes an unforgettable love story about a searing affair between an American woman and an African man in 1970s America and an unflinching novel about the fragmentation of lives that straddle countries and histories. All Our Names is the story of two young men who come of age during an African revolution, drawn from the safe confines of the university campus into the intensifying clamor of the streets outside. But as the line between idealism and violence becomes increasingly blurred, the friends are driven apart—one into the deepest peril, as the movement gathers inexorable force, and the other into the safety of exile in the American Midwest. There, pretending to be an exchange student, he falls in love with a social worker and settles into small-town life. Yet this idyll is inescapably darkened by the secrets of his past: the acts he committed and the work he left unfinished. Most of all, he is haunted by the beloved friend he left behind, the charismatic leader who first guided him to revolution and then sacrificed everything to ensure his freedom. Elegiac, blazing with insights about the physical and emotional geographies that circumscribe our lives, All Our Names is a marvel of vision and tonal command. Writing within the grand tradition of Naipul, Greene, and Achebe, Mengestu gives us a political novel that is also a transfixing portrait of love and grace, of self-determination and the names we are given and the names we earn. This eBook edition includes a Reading Group Guide.

I want to thank you for picking up my first book. I wrote this book to be simple and easy to read for all ages.
