"Kristine S. Ervin was just eight years old when her mother, Kathy Sue Engle, was abducted from an Oklahoma mall parking lot and violently murdered in an oil field. First, there was grief. Then the desire to know: what happened to her, what she felt in her last terrible moments, and all she was before these acts of violence defined her life. In her mother's absence, Ervin tries to reconstruct a woman she can never fully grasp--from her own memory, from letters she uncovers, and the stories of other family members. As more information about her mother's death comes to light, Ervin's drive to know her mother only intensifies, winding its way into her own fraught adolescence. In the process of both, she reckons with contradictions of what a woman is allowed to be--a self beyond the roles of wife, mother, daughter, victim--what a 'true' victim is supposed to look like, and, finally, how complicated and elusive justice can be"--

I wrote this book for anyone who is searching for happiness or who is living through pain and grief or who has been afflicted with a hardship that results in sadness and restless nights. This book says the following: Rejoice and be happy; remain positive and at peace. Indeed it says this as well: Live life as it should be lived - wholesomely, happily, and productively. This book diagnoses the mistakes we make that go against the intrinsic logic that we - as human beings - have been endowed with (but which we tend to forget when we do not follow correct guidance), whether those mistakes are in our thinking or in our dealings. I sincerely hope that readers will benefit from this book. Before reading it, you might - after only a perfunctory glance - pass some kind of judgment. However, let sound logic and precepts taken from revelation arbitrate that judgment.

"The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." (John 1:5) The wounds we receive among the many paths of life - whether they be physical, emotional, or spiritual -have the potential power to lead to a spiritual legacy of faith in Christ, one great enough to transform individuals and families alike, creating beauty and renewal from the ashes of pain and loss. Author Michael Christian Shaw has experienced this powerful and lasting spiritual transformation firsthand. Shaw's entrance into this world was surrounded by profound and intense loss at the tragic death of his four-year-old brother, Brucie, when he died a mere nine days after the author's birth. Having to navigate personal and family grief, the author's faith was also tested many years later with his own child's battle with cancer. Faithful are the Wounds: A Memoir explores both the realities of death, grief, and trauma, as well as the healing and strength that come from knowing a God who loves us and is bigger than life itself, including its sorrows. This haunting and deeply personal story chronicles the author's journey from darkness into light, from fear to faith, from grief to joy, and from death to life. This memoir combines the stark reality of emotional pain, with the gift of humor, and the ability to laugh at ourselves.

This book was written form a Christian perspective, and meant to be a guide to therapists who work with people who have lost one or more of their loved one though a traumatic and/or tragic event.Inspired by the true events depicted by the documentary movie "Wings of Hope," "Butterfly Stages of Grief" is a gripping and emotionally charged account of how the sole survivor of a tragic event such as an airplane crash would deal with a tragedy of that magnitude.For the sake of privacy, contextual interest and textual flow, I have changed the name of the sole survivor and did not stick 100% to chronological and/or factual events, so the book is partly fictional, and partly factual.Using the various life stages of a butterfly as a metaphor, the struggle of Sami (not her real name) to overcome her grief over the loss of her mother is depicted highlighting the various stages of grief, working from the initial (egg) stage to the ultimate (mating) stage of a butterfly. Each stage has been assigned to a corresponding stage of the 'five stages of grief' according to the 'Kübler-Ross Model' of grief therapy. The Kübler-Ross model, usually referred to as the 'Five Stages of Grief, was first presented by. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross in her book, On Death and Dying, which was published in 1969.Note that the stages depicted in this method of grief counseling are not necessarily treating in a linear fashion from stage one (denial) to Stage five (acceptance) since, according to Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, any of the stages can take place at any time.This book is meant to serve as a testimony to the strength of the human heart, illuminating the transformative power of hope, healing, and the enduring bond between a mother and her daughter, even after the tragedy of a permanent separation via deathIt is written as a self-help guide to people going through the stress of losing a loved one, and to help such a person overcome grief and be able to step back into life.Please enjoy reading "Butterfly Stages of Grief.

Jordan, a talented and promising junior golfer, died suddenly of an accidental drug overdose. He was only 21 years old. His father, Jim Hartsell, had spent most of the previous ten years supporting his son's attempt to succeed in the challenging world of junior and college golf. The grief was crushing, and the feeling of guilt overwhelming. When nothing else made sense, the author did the only thing he could think of: take a trip to his beloved Scotland in search for answers.Jim Hartsell had fallen in love with Scottish links golf as a child while watching the 1977 Open Championship at Turnberry, his father's favorite tournament. He and his father went on to take several trips to Scotland together, to places like Dunaverty, Machrihanish, and Cruden Bay. Visiting and studying the lesser-known golf courses of Scotland became a lifelong passion for Hartsell. Along the way, he also fell in love with Scotland and its people. When his life seemed over, that love was reciprocated and became his salvation.

It's also a love letter to Scotland: it's golf, culture, and wonderful people. It's a reminder to look to the people and places around you: the answers to your questions may be there.
