Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. We Share One Soul is the deeply personal story of Mandy Griffiths, a remarkable woman whose life was defined not by the cancer that ultimately took her, but by the love, courage, kindness and connection she gave to others.Written by her husband, Peter Griffiths, this memoir follows Mandy from childhood and sporting achievement through her lifelong passion for hockey, a career devoted to helping people facing significant challenges, close family relationships and the ordinary moments that made their life together extraordinary.In 2020, at just thirty-two years of age, Mandy was diagnosed with bowel cancer. What followed was a six-year journey involving major surgery, chemotherapy, stomas, repeated hospital admissions and terminal illness. Through it all, Mandy remained determined to live rather than simply exist, continuing to work when her health allowed, staying connected with the people she loved and creating memories whenever opportunities arose.Peter also writes candidly from the perspective of a husband and carer, exploring medical self-advocacy, the physical and emotional demands of caregiving, anticipatory grief, voluntary assisted dying, death, bereavement and the guilt that can remain when love is unable to save the person you would have given anything to protect.At its heart, however, this is a book about Mandy rather than cancer. Testimonials from family, friends, colleagues and hockey competitors reveal the extraordinary influence she had on those around her and the countless ways she made people feel valued, understood and included.Part love story, part tribute and part call to live deliberately, We Share One Soul is written for anyone whose life has been touched by love, cancer, caregiving, grief or loss - and as a reminder that a person should never be defined by the illness that ended their life. A story of love, young onset cancer, living life to the fullest, self-advocacy, grief and survivor guilt after a loved one passes away This item is printed on demand.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - When a person dies after a long illness, the person who cared for them loses more than someone they love. Medication schedules stop. Appointments vanish. Professionals move on. The house becomes quiet. A role that organised every hour ends without explaining what should take its place. After the Caring Ends: The Identity Rebuild Starts asks a question rarely addressed: when you have spent years helping someone stay alive, who are you when that person dies and your role disappears Drawing on Peter Griffiths's experience of caring for his wife, Mandy, alongside research and practical guidance, this book reveals the private reality of prolonged caregiving and its aftermath. It explores the gradual shift from partner or family member to carer; vigilance, advocacy, exhaustion and resentment; anticipatory grief; traumatic memories; relief when suffering ends; and the guilt that can follow relief. It also examines what happens after the funeral, when support fades but the body still expects an emergency. Griffiths writes candidly about returning to work, isolation, alcohol, identity, friendship, purpose and the slow task of building a life that can hold both love and loss. Mandy remains fully present as a person, never reduced to a diagnosis or a collection of needs. Her story provides the emotional foundation without becoming a complete retelling of We Share One Soul. Compassionate, unsentimental and practical, the book includes guides, conversations, reflections and plans for carers, former carers and the people around them. It shows families, employers, clinicians and services how to offer useful support before and after death. It offers recognition, grounded hope and practical help without pretending that grief can be neatly completed. Above all, it argues that rebuilding an identity does not require moving on from the person who died. A life can grow around grief while continuing to carry love forward.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The Men Who Say They Are Fine is an honest and compassionate examination of men's suicide, mental health and the pressures that can make it difficult for men to admit when they are struggling.Drawing on Australian research and his own experiences of addiction, trauma, mental illness, grief and suicidal distress, Peter Griffiths looks beyond statistics and public discussion to consider what may be happening inside the men who continue turning up, working, laughing and telling everyone they are fine. He reflects on the difference between passing thoughts of suicide, intense suicidal distress and taking action to end a life, while recognising that every person's experience is different.The book explores many of the pressures that can contribute to emotional distress, including body image, employment, housing, financial expectations, alcohol, relationships, loneliness, ageing and the belief that a man's worth can be measured by his career, possessions or achievements. Peter reflects on the criticism he experienced as a young man for working in retail and the pain of being told that he had achieved nothing. He considers how easily people can accept another person's judgement as truth, before recognising that achievement is not an objective measure and that simply remaining here can represent extraordinary strength.The book also examines masculinity, including the debate surrounding toxic masculinity. Rather than treating harmful behaviour as something belonging exclusively to men, Peter asks whether controlling, aggressive or emotionally destructive behaviour may be better understood through personality, learned behaviour, social expectations and individual choices. If women can be harmed by these behaviours, men can also experience them. Addressing the problem therefore requires accountability and honesty without reducing an entire sex to a stereotype.At its heart, this book is about what happens when a man finally speaks. It asks what makes honesty feel possible, which responses can close a conversation down and what meaningful support should look like after someone asks for help. Listening is not about having perfect words, offering rehearsed advice or trying to solve everything immediately. Sometimes, the most important response is to listen genuinely, remain present and allow someone to speak without judgement.Written for men who are searching for the words, the people supporting them and those who are unsure how to help someone they love, The Men Who Say They Are Fine offers no simple explanation or universal solution. It offers honesty, reflection and a reminder that struggling does not make someone weak, achievement cannot be measured by a single standard, and asking for help should be the beginning of support rather than the end of the conversation.…
