This insightful book of poems and prose walks you through life before, during and after depression. It tells of the good years when everything seemed to go well. It tells of the depths of depression where there seems no way out, and it shows you that there is a light at the end of that dark tunnel that leads you to the rest of your life.

Produktbeschreibung
This insightful book of poems and prose walks you through life before, during and after depression. It tells of the good years when everything seemed to go well. It tells of the depths of depression where there seems no way out, and it shows you that there is a light at the end of that dark tunnel that leads you to the rest of your life. I know, I've been there - no hit or miss I even enjoyed stepping into the abyss But I failed in my mission - got found too soon So I just got angry and planned my next move But they put me in hospital under lock and key And tried to help me but they just couldn't see That I'd made my mind up to round that bend And bring my misery to a final end Then family and friends gathered from near and far Some by plane and others by car They never questioned the path I chose They just let me know that they'd always be close
Autorenporträt
Bob has always fancied himself as a bit of a storyteller, an entertainer and a lover of a good party. A song, a joke, an embellished truth but always a good dose of humour. An innovator and a thinker outside the square, prepared to go where others may fear to tread. Family (whanau) have always been most important for Bob and he has a very wide, extended family. Immediate family include a grown-up boy and girl, five grandsons, a great granddaughter and a great grandson on the way. He has always been a dreamer, sometimes to his detriment, but when knocked down, he has never failed to get up. During the twelve years it took to write this book, much changed in his life. An aggressive B cell lymphoma cancer threatened to take him, before the book was even a short story. Then a business collapse took all of the immediate family assets. Depression attacked and took over. Family stuck by him. He didn't write through all of this time. There were long periods of nothing. Spurts of creativity and writing and lots of periods of doubt, about whether it was good enough or whether anyone would want to read it. Writing this book and making up this story, because that is all it is, a story, has definitely helped Bob come through his challenges. But the love and support of family is the greatest love anyone can have. Bob dedicates this book to his family, and those he loves. If it sells, it sells, if it doesn't, it wasn't good enough but it has already served its purpose. Kia Kaha (Stay strong), love and help one another. Bob looks forward to meeting you.
