Balloon in A Box - Rose, Thomas L.

. .

Résumé :
Balloon in A Box: Coping with Grief by author Thomas L. Rose is the story of his grief journey, or as he calls it, his love journey, after his wife died from breast cancer in August of 2019. Men do not always express their feelings, but Tom has truly put on paper - sharing his feelings for all of us - his deepest feelings of loss. It is a glimpse into the love that he shared for years with his wife, and thus helping others to also put into words their own grief and loss that may never have been expressed though deeply felt. Grief over the death of a spouse, child or loved one leaves you broken and wounded. Your heart aches and you experience a wide variety of emotions. This book is about how to handle these emotions. Follow Tom through his journey of grief as he and others share their memories, good and bad. Their experiences will help you cope with your grief and learn how to control it. Learn how to move forward in life with your loved one, not without them. Even if you are not grieving you will find this book to be a thought provoking read. It also contains quotes and Scriptural passages that are sure to be an inspiration to the reader. As Tom says, after publication of his book he caught lightning in a bottle as media interviews and speaking requests came in daily. So in this updated second edition, he also shares experiences from meeting people at over 100 speaking engagements in churches, service clubs, retirement communities and even prisons. He is available as a speaker, Life Continues... Embrace the Changes, by request and may be contacted through his website: www.thomaslrose.com
