Thanks for the Dance: Transforming Grief into Gratitude When Your Spouse Dies (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Your spouses death catapults you into a nightmare -likely the most stressful event of our life. You feel numb, loneliness overwhelms you, you feel adrift - desperate for something to hang onto. You want to pull the covers up over your head and make this all go away. The pain and suffering seem unbearable. You search for some magic answer or formula to make things all better.

Fred and Jeri are two ordinary folks who have both been there and found a pathway they hope will help you find your way too.

Pain is Inevitable - Suffering is Optional -Buddhist Proverb

Nothing will make the pain of this loss magically go away. You can reduce the suffering. Fred and Jeri offer numerous suggestions for dealing with the things we all experience, several unique exercises to help you figure out important feelings and emotions, and many inspirational quotations. They talk about things seen in no other book. They made it though this nightmare and so can you!

I had no expectation of finding the book so engaging and so on point.

George Devine, widower

Your book is a kind and generous action to help others during one of the hardest times in a life. Thanks for caring enough to share light when others are in the dark. Fred Dudding, widower

Like a personal support group, helps through the pain of loss and charting a course for those who have loved and lost. An essential guide that offers hope and guidance to those who are grieving.

Autorenporträt

Fred and Jeri Abrams both lost their spouses in 2004 after marriages of over 25 years. They met in Hospice Grief Support counseling and were married in 2005 at Hospice of Dayton (a real first for Hospice!).

Fred is a 69 year old retired Air Force officer (combat experienced fighter pilot and program manager) whose 33 year marriage to a pediatric RN resulted in a son and a daughter (one adopted and one natural) who are now married with children of their own. He now makes his living as a consultant and trainer in project management and leads a Rotary project to establish a sanctuary for AIDS orphans rescued from Africa's most dangerous slum. He has a BA in mathematics and an MS in system management.

Jeri is a 57 year old pediatric RN whose 27 year marriage to an Air Force chaplain resulted in two sons, both now married. The oldest is in his final year of medical school and the youngest is an engineer. She works part time as a home health care nurse, serving medically challenged children who would otherwise be hospitalized. She is active with Fred in the Africa project as she shares a passion with Fred in helping vulnerable children. A major focus of her life since marrying Fred has been continuing to parent her two sons and help Fred dote on his grandkids.
