The Myth of Dying

Opens Like a Flower, Cut It with a Knife
At some point in our lives, we will encounter a life-changing moment when we are forced to question our very existence. For me, it was when I found my thirty-year-old son, for no apparent reason, dead on his bed on an otherwise ordinary Monday morning. I have written this book with the hope that it can help someone else through their own loss and grief. The death of a child, at whatever age, is the most tragic experience for a parent, especially if the death is sudden. It's like a part of our body has been cruelly torn off. We will never get over the death of our child, nor should we have to. Our lives will never be the same. We will think about our child every day for the rest of our lives, and we will continue with a background ache for our child. But I have found out that we can heal from the trauma and the excruciating pain, and we can even laugh again. To heal well, we have to alter our views, our values, our attitudes, and our relationships. Expect that healing is a process which will take time. The first step in the healing process, was for me to learn to forgive and love myself for having outlived my beloved son, and having gone against the expected order of things. It was not my doing, and it was not within my control - It's just life!I had to accept that my son's death can never be undone. And I faced the painful truth that to be born is to die, and that life gave me no choice as to when, how or who died first. Grief is devastatingly painful. It can either leave us with anger and bitterness or can be used as a new awareness to give a realistic perspective and meaning to our lives. Viktor Frankl, in his book, 'Man's Search for Meaning', wrote about his life as a Nazi concentration camp prisoner where he chose to transform his darkest despair into a search for meaning and he said, 'It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us.' Our most difficult moments are our best teachers; for it is only when we encounter life-shattering moments, that we can see things as they truly are. But only if we become awakened by the tragedy and pick ourselves up - realising that we ourselves must make the effort to walk the path. 'Opens like a flower, cut it with a knife' is also the title of a song written by my son, Brian, some five years before he died. I came across this song only after he died. When I examined the lyrics, I felt it was almost as if my son, knew that he would have a short life and had left me insights on how to deal with life without him through his song. It helped me understand that although grief cuts deep like a knife and leaves a gaping hole in your heart; it is nonetheless, the very source from which a flower can bloom. It is only when you come to acceptance of your grief that paradoxically, beautiful insights can arise. But this can only happen if we are prepared to delve deeper to investigate the meaning of it all - each for ourselves. I learned through the depths of sadness that before you can know kindness at its deepest levels, you must first understand suffering in its darkest places. Through my most difficult times, I understood the significance of the Triple Gem in my life - the Buddha as the best physician; the Dhamma as medicine; and the Sangha, as mentors for me not just to survive, but to emerge a better person. I only wish I could have gone through this journey without the death of my son but this is the journey that has been thrust upon me, albeit not by choice. Happiness and grief are part of human existence.

Before You Say Yes and I Do will parallel the natural marital union between man and woman and the spiritual covenant union between God and mankind. How the two covenant relationships are intertwined as well as how the natural marital covenant is symbolic of God's love for his church.

She’s the Boss
One of the many secrets that is hidden from the eyes of so many in our country is this, there are men who are abused and violently attacked by women.There is what is known as silent suffering among men when it comes to domestic violence against them. Impossible, some have said, men cannot be abused by women, they are bigger and stronger. This is one of the myth's about domestic violence.There are men being abused all over the world by women, so why isn't more said about it?Men do not often tell what happens to them for a number of reasons and many of those we outline in this book. One of the major reasons they are silent is because they are men. Ego gets in the way, as well as embarrassment. Myth, a real man runs things and a woman does not tell him what to do.
I Do, Do You?
"I Do, Do You?" is a companion to Chris Schimel's book "Murder in the Church", where marital coldness was the primary culprit for the tragedy in the true story. There are tons of marriage helps out there, especially for Christians. Everyone has their researched strategies, ideas, lists and discoveries. These books line the shelves of bookstores. Most contain helpful hints. And yet, marriages continue to find themselves becoming dashed beyond repair on the rocks of divorce. "I Do, Do You?" has taken its principles directly from scripture, specifically from the foremost verses about marriage in the Bible. In these principles unique observations are made that reveal eye-opening discoveries about how spouses should interact to enhance life, love and longevity in their union. The author makes the bold promise that if the principles in this tiny but powerful book are followed, they will rescue or insulate marriages from destruction. It contains fourteen spousal-behaviors, four for women, five for men and five for both, that will fan the early flames of love, rekindle otherwise cooling marriages, as well as rescue or insulate marriages from destruction.

The Relation Ship
Many people choose to be in a relationship. However, are they willing to work to keep it? Do they ever consider commitment as a lifestyle rather than a hobby?

Its a dialogue gently expressing the development of love spanning over four decades of commitment. Let their story guide you to answer the above questions and reflect.

Rightfully Hers
This is the second book in a trilogy about my family. The memoir is based on my mother's journal, which she wrote when I was a child. I have vivid memories of her reading to me about an abandoned little girl, not wanted by her own mother, her cruel aunt, nor years later her husband. My mother was that little girl and she spent a lifetime trying to reconcile the many shortcomings in her life. Throughout the book, my memories intertwine with her writings creating a tapestry of emotions and life experiences.In the 1920s, my mother, Daphne, experienced the cruelty of poverty, forced to wear gunny sacks as dressings, no shoes and the emotional scars of not being wanted as a child in Jamaica, British West Indies. She arrived in Indianapolis, Indiana, in the harsh winter of 1950 to a rebuke from her Jamaican husband, angry with her for not leaving their three children with his parents on the island and joining him in America years before. It took him five years to meet immigration standards and to save money for airplane fares. Daphne was thrust into a new life with challenges of finding work, observing Jim Crow laws of this city with institutional racism, defending her offspring from their father, and finding meaningful experiences for her children in this new country, where three more children were born.The book takes the reader through a full circle of life-supporting death while grasping the legacy of reading, writing, listening, and love. Gifts were given freely and rightfully! Love wasn't given to Daphne as a child, but my mother shared, willingly, her love in abundance, enriching the lives of her children, family, and friends. My mother deserved all that was good and "Rightfully Hers," in life.
Grown Apart
Marriage can reach a point where one or both partners feel like they have fallen out of love. The spark is gone, togetherness has drifted away, and loneliness has crept in. This could be caused by a sudden change of heart, but more often it is the ongoing demands of kids, careers, and commitments that cause a couple to slowly grow apart.This book is for the spouse that is frustrated. Discouraged. Defeated. But knows it is worth it to press on, and do everything they can to fight for their marriage. Despite the challenges, they desire the ultimate victory: restoration with their spouse, a family kept together, marriage vows honored, and God glorified. We would not want to embark on this journey without first turning to the God who supplies all of our needs. It is with Him all things are possible, and He is still in the business of moving mountains and working miracles. The same God that rose Jesus from the dead can breathe life back into your marriage. But no matter how badly you want it, it can be tough to know where to start. That's where this book comes in-we will encourage you and equip you with what to say, what to do, and what to read in your Bible over 52 weeks. We will even tell you what to pray, because a focused prayer life can make all the difference.We've watched restoration, and the healing power of God at work in countless marriages. Don't give up. Yours can be the next success story.
