Synopsis

In a split-second between life and death, blissfully unaware of what was to come, Robina’s life twisted violently from the quintessential happy marriage to one of utter despair, confusion, anger and grief.

 

Feeling that nobody was comprehending what she was going through, Robina took the courageous step of writing how she perceived her world – from the moment the life-shattering knock on her door turned her world upside down.

 

No more than a year later, more devastating news was to open a new and dangerous battle front for Robina.

 

This extraordinary journey of love, loss, courage, hope and gratitude is a must-read for everyone. Ultimately, we will all experience grief. Learning, appreciating and respecting grief’s impact and processes on us, and coming to terms with them, is one of the most valuable lessons we could ever have.

About this title

About the Author

Robina Haines lives in Perth Western Australia, however she grew up in the wheat belt area in rural Western Australia. Her husband Nigel was from farming heritage but later went into the mining industry. The family had settled and had three young children when Robina received the news that her husband had tragically died on the minesite he worked on. With limited resources and lack of published, available books relating to her situation, Robina started documenting the experiences she and her family experienced from the day the tragic news was delivered. Less than a year later, Robina was diagnosed with breast cancer. The second half of the book talks of her journey through a cancer battle. Hello Grief - Be my friend took nearly three years to complete. It is a raw record of exactly what happens to a family when a loved one dies. In keeping with this theme, her second book, My Star was written. This is story of her youngest son and his interpretation of losing father and coming to terms with it. This is also a true record. Two more books are in production. These are also books that help in the journey of a cancer diagnosis and to help the bereaved.
