Walking the Tar Pit - Schwan, Karin

. .

Résumé :
Life is not fair. Even though we are taught to be fair to others and we expect to be treated fairly, that is not always the case. It's a concept that may work when dividing toys or candy amongst children or being selected top seller on a business team, but it doesn't work when it means watching the love of our life die from brain cancer. Walking the Tar Pit is about the path through the process of grief and understanding that life is not fair when it comes to loss. The book is a collection of essays reflecting on the pain of grief, as well as the glimmers of light and sources of strength through the darkness and depth of the Tar Pit. It includes beloved Bible verses and inspirational quotes as well as personal letters from the author to important people in Karin's life, her sons, her girls, her parents, and the rest of the family, friends, and the community. The book concludes with the tribute Karin presented in honor of her beloved husband, Fred, at his funeral. We all enter the Tar Pit for different reasons, but we all must make our way through it to successfully navigate the grief process. The Tar Pit is one widow's path through the pit to her destination on the other side.
