Weathering The Grief Storm
Julie Kick never believed John would die. Told that his stage four metastatic melanoma was terminal, they trained their combined focus on beating the odds - on John becoming a medical miracle. Julie blogged about their experiences, planning to one day pen a happy ending. In Weathering the Grief Storm, Julie lays bare the unpredictable twists and turns of her husband's cancer battle and its irrepressible impact on every aspect of their lives. From the devastating diagnosis, through debilitating treatments, and navigating one emergency after another, Julie recalls raw, very private moments with unreserved candor and vivid detail. John dies. But the story doesn't end there. In the wake of unspeakable loss, Julie begins a profound journey toward rebirth, prompting her to reflect upon the coping mechanisms that gave her strength, grounded her in the present, and granted her permission to be vulnerable. THRIVE was Julie's lifeline throughout her years-long process of caring for John, losing him, and relearning acts of "inescapable singleness," and she knew it was a method worth sharing.Weathering the Grief Storm is a love story, coupled with an empowering survival tool for anyone enduring the unimaginable - and wanting their own happy ending."Beautifully written and easy-to-read, Weathering the Grief Storm draws you in. As the story unfolds, you feel as if you are having a conversation with a friend, hearing moments so touching they give you chills. You soon realize that the lessons Julie learned are not just good advice for moving through grief, they are valuable nuggets for anyone who wants to live a more aware, centered, happy life, and THRIVE." Dana Wilde, Bestselling Author of Train Your Brain, and Creator of The Celebrity Formula As a recent widow, I had a hard time finding anything to read on grief and loss that resonated with my optimistic personality and the fact that, although I had NO idea HOW to grieve in the early days, I also didn't want other people's timelines and perceived "norms" to dictate how I went about my healing. I wanted to heal with intention and take on the storm sooner rather than later. I feel like ANYONE suffering the loss of a loved one could find the common thread that I found here. This story claims only to be one woman's experience and therefore leaves us all free to enjoy it, feel alongside her, and find the commonalities for ourselves. I never felt alone while I was reading it. I am finally in good company. The author validated many things for me - things I have never heard anyone else say or "admit" about moving on, including following her own set of rules and living life on her own terms. That part is what I believe to be SO LACKING in the world when it comes to content on grief and loss. So, I am just thrilled to know that this book will be on the shelf for those of us who are committed to living our best lives, regardless of the risk and uncertainties that have affected us and surely will again, in some way.Tara Wild (tarawild.ca)

The Red Button
This book is a guide to help people living with dementia (and their families) make good choices about the end of life. The quality of life in the late stages of Alzheimer's and other dementias can be greatly diminished by many factors. The concept of "pain and suffering" during these stages is not well understood and often not acknowledged by family or other caregivers. Only 11% of people with dementia currently receive hospice care at the end of life. Why? Because hospice requires that the individual be mentally competent to initiate the process (which is not possible) or for family members to initiate it (which most are reluctant to do). Options for an assisted death, even when legal, are still more limited. Yet, when asked, in the early stages of dementia, as part of the process of creating medical directives, many people would choose the option of an assisted death (if available) versus continuing to live --- if they were in a vegetative state or other condition where mental functioning is extremely limited and family or friends are no longer recognized. The RED BUTTON discusses the options associated with hospice and assisted death for people with dementia and also how they might communicate, even in the late stages, their degree of pain and suffering to caregivers.Creating good choices at the end of life depends on two things: 1) Making key decisions through medical directives and conversations with loved ones in the EARLY stages of dementia; and, 2) Defining personal boundaries for the quality of life in the later stages of dementia. The RED BUTTON suggests some guidelines here that are commonly used to measure life quality for the elderly in hospitals, homes and other settings. Hidden behind the mask of dementia-related behaviors and the inability to communicate, is an anguished cry for help as options for meaningful living disappear. The RED BUTTON is a tiny step in the direction of giving this population a voice.

Gaslighting & Narcissistic Abuse Recovery
Break free from the lies and manipulation that are keeping you captive You're positive you saw a flirty text from another woman on your husband's phone. Yet, when you confront him, he tells you you're imagining things and being paranoid. A co-worker sarcastically mentions that you're not contributing enough to the big project. When you get offended, they say they were just joking and that you're too sensitive. Your mother constantly criticizes your weight. When you bring up her comments around other people, she denies ever saying them and says you are making up stories. Have you repeatedly found yourself in these types of situations where you end up doubting yourself? They might have occurred with different people, in different circumstances, but the way they make you feel is the same. Your feelings are trivialized, your thoughts are manipulated, and your reality is denied. When this is done to you repeatedly, you begin to feel confused or even crazy. You are left questioning your own reality and sanity. These are classic signs that you're being gaslighted, and it's something to take very seriously. Gaslighting is a covert form of abuse that affects your confidence and trust in yourself, which the abuser then takes advantage of to keep you under their control. Whether it's a spouse, parent, or co-worker, it's hard to break loose from the grip of a gaslighting manipulator. You will need to know how gaslighters operate, how their behavior is affecting you, and how you can reclaim your truth. In Gaslighting & Narcissistic Abuse Recovery, you will discover: ● The sneaky tactics gaslighters employ that catch you off-guard and make you more vulnerable to their exploitation● How to hold on to your grip on reality, despite the gaslighter's efforts to undermine it● Powerful ways to respond to gaslighters, block their attacks, and take back control of the conversation● Why self-care is a critical component in coping with abuse, especially if you need to regularly interact with a gaslighter● The shift in mindset to help you finally gain the courage to escape an abusive relationship● What you need to do after leaving a gaslighting relationship to make sure you don't fall into the same cycle again● Why you shouldn't expect any closure from your abuser, and why you can still move on without it● How to rebuild your sense of self after years of being torn down by others And much more. Acknowledging that you're being abused is the first step towards recovery. After years of gaslighting, you may be so used to it that you no longer recognize this is not a normal way to live. You might believe that there's no way out, or you can't imagine life without the one who's manipulating you. But if you truly want to be able to live life on your own terms, cutting yourself off from the source of your pain is essential. It won't happen overnight, and it will take committed effort, but you can feel like yourself again - the person you used to be... the person you're meant to be.

Understanding Sexual Response
Having only ever experienced a true sexual release through masturbation alone, Jane gradually came to the realisation that many assumptions about female sexuality defy common sense. This book sets out her research work, which involves asking other women how they achieve the orgasms with a lover that are portrayed in erotic fiction. Jane discusses the similarities and differences between her own sexuality and the equivalent male behaviours and responses that she has observed in her male lovers.Jane Thomas's work challenges the many misconceptions and contractions in our beliefs about the orgasms women are assumed to be capable of with a lover. She asks women and their lovers to explain the erotic turn-ons, the anatomy and the stimulation technique involved in female orgasm.Jane has been so grateful to those few individuals who have been willing to comment. She has even learned from the universal silence and drawn her own conclusions from it.

Who Is Boasting About Your Marriage?
The book "WHO IS BOASTING ABOUT YOUR MARRIAGE?" is birthed out of a burden. It is the burden of seeing so much unhappiness and disenchantment in an institution that has the potential for life-long enchantment. It is the burden of seeing and sometimes superintending "had I knowns" after the marriage has hit the rocks. It is a burden based on the fact that when a Christian marriage falls, the devil actually gloats and thus a desire not to give him that satisfaction. Most of all, it is a burden borne out of the need to answer the prayer "thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth..." and a knowledge of the fact that in marriage and the home, this prayer can be answered faster than we envisage. Marriage was made to be permanent. We can make it so.
The Power of Parent-Child Conversations
This book focuses on how parents and other caregivers can have richer and more fruitful conversations with their children. Parents will be able to use the ideas in this book to improve conversations with their children in ways that help them (a) more effectively learn in school, (b) develop stronger and more lasting relationships in and out of school, and (c) increase their critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. Some children are more prepared for school than others. Much of this preparation comes from the types of conversations that children have and listen to at home. Many children need more practice in developing and using key conversation skills that are expected in school and life. They need more practice co-constructing ideas with other people, face to face, and they need more practice engaging in respectful collaboration and argumentation. This book helps parents to provide such practice.
