I bet you haven’t completed your holiday shopping yet. There
probably are a few names on your list especially difficult to shop for. They
are the ones who aren’t into the merriment of the season as much as the memories
of past seasons; the seasons before they suffered the loss of a loved one whose
absence has made every holiday season since incomplete. Or maybe it’s a number
of losses of family and friends. I think that as we get older, we get filled
with our losses.
These special names on your list might do well with a gift
of comfort that comes from reading a memoir of loss and recovery. I suggest my memoir of loss and recovery Staying Alive: A Love Story,
nominated for the 2012 Christian
Small Publishers Book of the Year. Called, "a beautiful reminder of what really matters," the book also received a Readers Views 2012
Award and the recommendation of the American Association of Health Care
Professionals.
You can read an excerpt
and readers' comments on Staying Alive: A Love Story, available in print and ebook formats, on
Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and the iBooks Store. For even more information on the book, go to my website.
Staying Alive: A Love
Story might be the right read for a special person on your holiday list.
The one seeking comfort as much as joy.
