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

About the Author
Thomas L. Rose, Tom Rose, lives in Goshen, Indiana. He attended St. John's Parochial School and Goshen High School, graduating in 1958. He attended St. Joseph, Ball State and Goshen College.
He married Joyce Grissom in 1962. Tom worked in advertising and marketing most of his life and actually still does today with his son Brock, Rose and Rose Associates.
With his wife Joyce he co-authored two cookbooks, Cooking Together Chinese Style and Cooking Together Quick and Easy. They also hosted a cooking segment on the local FOX TV affiliate for 13 years. During that time, they toured the Midwest teaching cooking classes.
After his wife's death Tom, with help from his son, authored a third cookbook, Cooking Together Revisited, which is dedicated to Joyce with the proceeds going to the families of Breast Cancer Support Projects. Tom, along with his family, produce a YouTube cooking show, Cooking Together Generations, to help promote their Breast Cancer Support Projects. The website is: www.cookingtogether.com
Tom has also written Balloon in A Box: Coping with Grief and The Secret is in the Pasta, a murder mystery novel.
In addition to cooking and writing, Tom enjoys playing golf and listening to all kinds of music. He takes great pleasure in cooking with the family and cooking for friends. Asked about the future he answered, "At 82 years old you are not really sure how much time you have left, but I hope the family and I can keep working on Cooking Together Generations and expand our Breast Cancer Support Projects. I also would like to do some more cookbooks and books like this, but that is all in God's hands."
