Publisher's Synopsis
Why don't men cry? Why does my husband seem to avoid grief? Will my father grieve for my mother the way I feel he should? Why will my son not talk to me about his pain? This book is meant to offer a fresh perspective on the broader topic of grief with a particular journey into the minds of men and how they handle grief, pain, tragedy, and suffering while still juggling the societal expectations of being a father, comforter, and patriarch of a family.
The book is filled with personal stories of men and women dealing with complicated grief and general suffering. Some of those stories are painful and some are humorous. If your life has been touched by the specter of grief, then this book will help you navigate those stormy waters and hopefully find safe harbor. The book assumes a Christian perspective on death and dying, but the insights are applicable to everyone walking through the valley of the shadow of death.
