From the first shockwaves of grief to the later complications of getting on with life, the author shares his first-hand experience and the many helpful discoveries he makes along the way. He does it with rare honesty and vulnerability, furnishing a wealth of insights into life after loss. From many months of candid conversations, he has also gathered stories from various others (mostly men, some women) and offers them up with warmth, wisdom, and humor.
As you follow his story, you'll find, as Mr. Roskopf did himself, that you are not alone. Feeling suddenly and painfully out of place in your own life is common - a natural human response to profound loss. But feelings of isolation and habits of isolation are two different things. You'll also witness the value of what the author calls "tribal therapy," the informal, unscripted, but regular meetings of a "band of brothers" who have suffered similar loss.
Chapter topics include talking with your children, dealing with well-meaning but unhelpful friends, replacing debilitating habits with healthy routines, drawing on the power of faith, and other significant issues wrapped up in insightful nuggets of wisdom called Little Ohs.
If you've lost your partner in life, you know things will never be the same. But that doesn't mean your future has to be a second casualty. I Carry Your Heart explores the difference between grief that paralyzes and grief that grows into a re-embracing of life, even happiness. If you're looking for an accessible resource that can help you better understand and survive after the loss of a spouse, I Carry Your Heart is indispensable collection of stories, personal and practical insights, and inspiration.
