The World Looks Different Now (eBook, ePUB)

A Memoir of Suicide, Faith, and Family

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The World Looks Different Now takes readers behind the statistics and into the private world of a family whose lives are forever changed following the suicide of the family's older son less than three months before he was due to deploy to Afghanistan.

A journalist as well as a grieving mother, author Margaret Thomson instinctively turns to writing during the weeks, months, and even years following her son's death in an effort to make sense out of a seemingly senseless act that she never dreamed could happen. In The World Looks Different Now, she chronicles the grueling journey she and her husband, along with their surviving son, are forced to embark upon as they move toward eventual-if only partial-healing. Poignant and insightful, this memoir will help those who's suffered a major loss to better understand the need to grieve at one's own pace, as well as in one's own individual way.
